Insect pheromones

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1968
The evidence for intraspecies chemical communication in insects is reviewed, with emphasis on those studies where known organic compounds have been implicated. These signal-carrying chemicals are known as pheromones.

Extraction and identification of terrestrial snail pheromones using liquid-liquid extraction technique followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yesشیمی کاربردی روز, 2022
Pheromones are the secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are chemicals capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving ...

Mating disruption technology: An innovative tool for managing yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas Walker) of rice in Indonesia

open access: yesJurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2023
Yellow stem borer (YSB) of rice, Scirpophaga incertulas Walker, causes significant damage to rice production in Indonesia. YSB management largely depends on insecticide applications and alternative management practices are very few and impractical ...

A Multiple Pheromone Communication System for Swarm Intelligence

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Pheromones are chemical substances essential for communication among social insects. In the application of swarm intelligence to real micro mobile robots, the deployment of a single virtual pheromone has emerged recently as a powerful real-time method ...

A Review of Termite Pheromones: Multifaceted, Context-Dependent, and Rational Chemical Communications

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Termite colonies, composed of large numbers of siblings, develop an important caste-based division of labor; individuals in these societies interact via intra- or intercaste chemical communications. For more than 50 years, termites have been known to use

Exploring the Kairomone-Based Foraging Behaviour of Natural Enemies to Enhance Biological Control: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Kairomones are chemical signals that mediate interspecific interactions beneficial to organisms that detect the cues. These attractants can be individual compounds or mixtures of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) or herbivore chemicals such as ...

Dispersal From Natal Patch Correlates With the Volatility of Female Sex Pheromones in Parasitoid Wasps

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Chemical communication via pheromones is considered the oldest and most widespread form of communication in nature. However, the way that the enormous diversity of species-specific pheromones evolved is still of debate.

What Is a Pheromone? Mammalian Pheromones Reconsidered [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2005
Pheromone communication is a two-component system: signaling pheromones and receiving sensory neurons. Currently, pheromones remain enigmatic bioactive compounds, as only a few have been identified, but classical bioassays have suggested that they are nonvolatile, activate vomeronasal sensory neurons, and regulate innate social behaviors and ...

Pheromones [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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
