Insect Science, EarlyView.In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

Use of Repellent Pheromones In Collective Exploration [PDF]
, 2014 This report explores the possibilities of using repellent pheromones in order to achieve efficient dispersion of a swarm of robots. The goal is to have a set of autonomous robots cover an unknown environment by collectively visiting each area once ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Sex Role–Dependent Behavioral and Architectural Divergence in a Jumping Spider
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The graphical abstract contrasts sex‐equivalent cognition (route‐planning & memory) with female‐biased nest architecture. Both sexes perform similarly in cognitive tests, but females build complex, geometry‐matching nests while males make simple shelters.

Volatile nematode sex pheromones [PDF]
, 2017 Nematodes produce a staggering array of sol. social cues, glycosides of dideoxy-sugars such as the ascarylose (ascarosides), that are secondary metabolites and communicate information such as population d. and location of sex partners.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Chemical Interference: A Review on Endocrine Disruptors and Reproductive Communication in Amphibians
Ecology and EvolutionAmphibians are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pollution, primarily due to their permeable skin and eggs, as well as their habitat preferences. Endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDCs), prevalent in aquatic environments and soil, pose a significant ...
