System of forest insect pheromone communication: stability of «information» molecules to environmental factors [PDF]
Features of external environmental factors (such as electromagnetic radiation in certain spectral bands) influencing pheromone molecules, which are carriers of information for forest insects in the search of the opposite sex, were examined.

PHEROMONES and EXOCRINE GLANDS IN ISOPTERA
Termites are eusocial insects that have a peculiar and intriguing system of communication using pheromones. The termite pheromones are composed of a blend of chemical substances and they coordinate different social interactions or activities, including ...

The use of semiochemical slow-release devices in integrated pest management strategies [PDF]
The development of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies is increasing since many problems appeared with the use of synthetic pesticides. Semiochemicals – informative molecules used in insect-insect or plant-insect interaction – are more and more ...

Pheromones can cull an invasive amphibian without releasing survivors from intraspecific competition
Attempts to cull an invasive species often create a paradoxical situation, whereby the consequent reduction in invader densities frees the survivors from intraspecific competition—and hence, increases the viability of those survivors.

Stereoselective total synthesis of some insect pheromones: (±)-serricornine and (±)-invictolide
An efficient (12 steps, 12% overallyield) and stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-serricornine (1) the sex pheromone of the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricornine F) is described.
