Pheromone Receptor Knock-Out Affects Pheromone Detection and Brain Structure in a Moth
Biomolecules, 2022 Sex pheromone receptors are crucial in insects for mate finding and contribute to species premating isolation. Many pheromone receptors have been functionally characterized, especially in moths, but loss of function studies are rare.

Current Biology, 2017 The reality of invisible chemical signals, pheromones, between members of the same species was recognized long before they could be identified. Charles Darwin proposed that the breeding season sexual smells of male crocodiles, goats and other animals, too, could have evolved by sexual selection of the smelliest males through female choice. But it's not

Potential application of the bumblebee foraging recruitment pheromone for commercial greenhouse pollination [PDF]
, 2009 Commercial bumblebee colonies are important crop pollinators. Here we assess whether application of artificial foraging recruitment pheromone can increase foraging activity in Bombus terrestris colonies on a relevant timescale for commercial pollination.

Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone [PDF]
, 2009 All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...

An ant colony genetic fusion routing algorithm based on soft define network
IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Aiming at the problem that there are many paths in data forwarding in soft define network (SDN) network, and the optimal path is difficult to find, combined with the advantages of ant colony algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA), a routing control strategy based on the ant colony genetic fusion algorithm is proposed.

Genome-wide identification of olfactory receptor and odorant-binding protein gene families and their roles in Heliothine chemosensory evolution. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolGenome‐wide systematic annotation identified 81 odorant receptors (ORs) and 49 odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in the tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens. Phylogenetic analyses revealed chemosensory gene diversification in Heliothinae and extensive lineage‐specific duplications in C.

Sex Pheromone of the Alfalfa Plant Bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus: Pheromone Composition and Antagonistic Effect of 1- Hexanol (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]
, 2021 The sex pheromone composition of alfalfa plant bugs, Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze, 1778), from Central Europe was investigated to test the hypothesis that insect species across a wide geographical area can vary in their pheromone composition. Potential
