Scientific Reports, 2015 Sexual communication in moths offers a simplified scenario to model and investigate insect sensory perception. Both PBPs (pheromone-binding proteins) and PRs (pheromone receptors) are involved in the detection of sex pheromones, but the interplay between

Pheromone Transduction in Moths [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010 Calling female moths attract their mates late at night with intermittent release of a species-specific sex-pheromone blend. Mean frequency of pheromone filaments encodes distance to the calling female. In their zig-zagging upwind search male moths encounter turbulent pheromone blend filaments at highly variable concentrations and frequencies.

The reactivity of neonatal rabbits to the mammary pheromone as a probe for viability
Animal, 2007 Newborn rabbits depend on a daily nursing interaction with the mother to gain milk and to survive. During this interaction, they localise and seize the nipples displaying a typical behaviour triggered by maternal odour cues.

Peripheral, central and behavioral responses to the cuticular pheromone bouquet in Drosophila melanogaster males. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Pheromonal communication is crucial with regard to mate choice in many animals including insects. Drosophila melanogaster flies produce a pheromonal bouquet with many cuticular hydrocarbons some of which diverge between the sexes and differently affect ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, mainly secretes 4‐oxo‐(E)‐2‐hexenal, (E)‐2‐decenal, dodecane and tridecane, a mixture representative of that released by many heteropterans. We demonstrated that H. halys can synthesise these secretory components de novo using dietary glucose.

Thermal signatures of human pheromones in sexual and reproductive behaviour [PDF]
, 2010 Chemically mediated sexual communication in humans has been largely neglected due to its non-conscious and relatively concealed nature. However, menstrual cycle synchronisation, puberty onset in young pre-pubertal girls exposed to their stepfather, and ...

Mammalian pheromones; emerging properties and mechanisms of detection
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015 The concept of mammalian pheromones was established decades before the discovery of any bioactive ligands. Therefore, their molecular identity, native sources, and the meaning of their detection has been largely speculative. There has been recent success

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Electrophysiological responses of males of the potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida, to their sex pheromones [PDF]
, 1996 The response of individual adult males of the potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida, to sex pheromones from adult females was investigated using electrophysiological techniques.

Defensive repertoire of the stingless bee Melipona flavolineata Friese (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Sociobiology, 2014 Despite the fact that Meliponini bee lost their sting apparatus (stingless bees), they did not lose their ability to defend themselves. A variety of defensive strategies is described for the group, such as bitting and resin deposition.
