Alarm pheromone processing in the ant brain: an evolutionary perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
Social insects exhibit sophisticated communication by means of pheromones, one example of which is the use of alarm pheromones to alert nestmates for colony defense.

Moth-inspired navigation algorithm in a turbulent odor plume from a pulsating source

open access: yes, 2018
Some female moths attract male moths by emitting series of pulses of pheromone filaments propagating downwind. The turbulent nature of the wind creates a complex flow environment, and causes the filaments to propagate in the form of patches with varying ...

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Semiochemical responsive olfactory sensory neurons are sexually dimorphic and plastic

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Understanding how genes and experience work in concert to generate phenotypic variability will provide a better understanding of individuality. Here, we considered this in the main olfactory epithelium, a chemosensory structure with over a thousand ...

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Can we replace toxicants, achieve biosecurity, and generate market position with semiochemicals?

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Biosecurity covers both long-term management of existing pests and the urgent government responses to alien invasive species which have yet to become fully established.

Moth Mating: Modeling Female Pheromone Calling and Male Navigational Strategies to Optimize Reproductive Success

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Male and female moths communicate in complex ways to search for and to select a mate. In a process termed calling, females emit small quantities of pheromones, generating plumes that spread in the environment.

Odour perception in the codling moth Cydia pomonella L. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a renowned pest in apple, pear and walnut orchards, and its activities are in large guided by volatile odours as sensory cues.

Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

Selectivity of Odorant Receptors in Insects

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
Insect olfactory receptors (ORs) detect chemicals, shape neuronal physiology and regulate behavior.  Although ORs have been categorized as generalists and specialists based on their ligand spectrum, both electrophysiological studies and recent ...
