Chemical ecology of insect parasitoids: towards a new era [PDF]

, 2013
Over the course of evolutionary time, insect parasitoids have developed diverse strategies for using chemical compounds to communicate with various protagonists within their environment (i.e.

Effects of Collection Cup Preservative on Flight Intercept Trap Performance for Forest Insects

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1330-1340, December 2025.
Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. We investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects.

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Chemical cues mediating aphid location by natural enemies

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
There is increasing evidence that chemical cues play a pivotal role in host selection by the natural enemies of aphids. We use Vinson's (1976) division of the host selection process into habitat location, host location and host acceptance for both ...

Semiochemical-based alternatives to synthetic toxicant insecticides for pollen beetle management [PDF]

, 2017
There is an urgent need to develop sustainable pest management systems to protect arable crops in order to replace the current over-reliance on synthetic insecticides.

Deriving the functional significance of olfaction in a solitary non‐territorial herbivore: The bare‐nosed wombat Vombatus ursinus

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 386-397, December 2025.
We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...

Lessons to be popular: the chemical basis of aggregation in Trypanosoma cruzi-infected and non-infected Chagasic bugs

Royal Society Open Science
Aggregation is one of the most remarkable behaviours in the animal kingdom—a process that is usually governed by pheromones. Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that act as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease in mammals ...

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.

The context of chemical communication driving a mutualism [PDF]

, 2015
Recent work suggests that Drosophila and Saccharomyces yeasts may establish a mutualistic association, and that this is driven by chemical communication. While individual volatiles have been implicated in the attraction of D.

Disruption of host-seeking behaviour by the salmon louse,Lepeophtheirus salmonis,using botanically derived repellents [PDF]

, 2017
The potential for developing botanically derived natural products as novel feed-through repellents for disrupting settlement of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Caligidae) upon farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, was investigated using an ...
