Comparative transcriptomics of social insect queen pheromones
Nature Communications, 2019 Queen pheromones are chemical signals that mediate reproductive division of labor in eusocial animals. Remarkably, queen pheromones are composed of identical or chemically similar compounds in some ants, wasps and bees, even though these taxa diverged ...

Pheromone Discrimination by the Pheromone-Binding Protein of Bombyx mori [PDF]
Structure, 2006 Pheromone-binding proteins are postulated to contribute to the exquisite specificity of the insect's olfactory system, acting as a filter by preferentially binding only one of the components of the natural pheromone. Here, we investigated the possible discrimination of the two very similar components of the natural pheromone gland from the silk moth ...

Techniques for studying honeybee pheromones involved in clustering, and experiments on the effect of nasonov and queen pheromones [PDF]
, 1979 Techniques for investigating pheromones responsible for clustering in Apis mellifera are described. Stable queenless clusters were formed in response to synthetic Nasonov pheromone mixed with (E)-9-oxo-2-decenoic acid.

Excitation and inhibition onto central courtship neurons biases Drosophila mate choice
eLife, 2015 The ability to distinguish males from females is essential for productive mate selection and species propagation. Recent studies in Drosophila have identified different classes of contact chemosensory neurons that detect female or male pheromones and ...

Insects, 2019 Caterpillars of the pine processionary moths, Thaumetopoea complex, cause serious defoliation to Cedrus, Pinus, and Pseudotsuga trees. Thaumetopoea caterpillars also have fine hairs on their abdominal tergites that contain a protein that can severely ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In many animals, mate choice is important for the maintenance of reproductive isolation between species. Traits important for mate choice and behavioral isolation are predicted to be under strong stabilizing selection within species; however, such traits

Phycology, 2023 Plant hormones and pheromones are natural compounds involved in the growth, development, and reproductive processes. There is a plethora of studies on hormones and pheromones in terrestrial plants, but such investigations are few in the phycological ...

Re: The Search for Human Pheromones: The Lost Decades and the Necessity of Returning to First Principles [PDF]
, 2017 EDITORIAL COMMENT Pheromones are chemical signals that have evolved for communication with other members of the same species. We do not know yet if humans have pheromones. Over the last 45 years, some scientists have claimed that a number of molecules
