Phenethylamine Is a Potential Density Stress Pheromone in Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

Fishes, 2023
Pheromones play a vital role in regulating fish behavior, including reproduction, aggregation, hazard recognition and food location. To gain a better understanding of chemical communication in fish produced by density changes, this study analyzed the ...

Pheromone gland development and pheromone production in Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae)

, 2011
The sand ßy Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) is the main vector of American visceral leishmaniasis. Adult males produce a terpenoid sex pheromone that in some cases also acts as male aggregation pheromone.

Pheromone Transduction in Moths [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010
Calling female moths attract their mates late at night with intermittent release of a species-specific sex-pheromone blend. Mean frequency of pheromone filaments encodes distance to the calling female. In their zig-zagging upwind search male moths encounter turbulent pheromone blend filaments at highly variable concentrations and frequencies.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Research Progress on the Dendrolimus spp. Pheromone: From Identification to Molecular Recognition

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Dendrolimus species (Lepidoptera, Lasiocampidae), are the most serious phytophagous pests of coniferous forests worldwide. Dendrolimus feed intensively on needles, leading to considerable economic loss and ecological damage.

Engineered Optogenetic Circuits In Yeast with Self‐Sustained Outputs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Optogenetic quorum‐sensing (OptoQS) circuit enables Saccharomyces cerevisiae to record transient light stimulus with self‐sustained outputs. Panel a indicates the design of the OptoQS circuit based on G‐protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling cascade. Panel b indicates the mode of action of surrogate messenger‐mediated signal transmission at the cell

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Modulates Vomeronasal Neuron Response to Male Salamander Pheromone

Journal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2012
Electrophysiological studies have shown that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) modifies chemosensory neurons responses to odors. We have previously demonstrated that male Plethodon shermani pheromone stimulates vomeronasal neurons in the female ...

A note on the mosquito oviposition pheromone

, 1989
Mosquitoes of the genus Culex, e.g. Culex quinquefasciatus, release a volatile pheromone from their eggs that induces gravid females to oviposit around the pheromone source.

Semi-selective fatty acyl reductases from four heliothine moths influence the specific pheromone composition [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Sex pheromones are essential in moth mate communication. Information on pheromone biosynthetic genes and enzymes is needed to comprehend the mechanisms that contribute to specificity of pheromone signals.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.
