Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Insects are highly reliant on chemical cues such as pheromones to facilitate communication and navigation. Some of the roles of pheromones include attracting and finding mates and conspecifics, and in these cases, we expect stabilising selection to dampen within‐population pheromone variation.

Modelling response of Delottococcus aberiae (De lotto) male captures to pheromone emission rates
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 8543-8551, December 2025.Using increasing doses of the sex pheromone of D. aberiae, our model revealed that the emission levels to maximize the captures of males ranges from 0.4 to 40 μg/day. Abstract BACKGROUND An invasive mealybug from South Africa identified as Delottococcus aberiae (De Lotto) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is causing severe distortions and fruit size ...

Ultrastructure of antennal sensilla of a prionine longhorn beetle, Prionoplus reticularis (White)
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 636-653, December 2025.ABSTRACT Antennal sensilla are fundamental to an insects sensory perception of its environment. In species where one sex produces pheromones for attracting mates, we can predict antennal and sensilla morphology to be sexually dimorphic. Prionoplus reticularis White (Prioninae; Cerambycidae; Coleoptera) is a large longhorn beetle exhibiting a scramble ...
