Pyrazines Attract Catocheilus Thynnine Wasps

Insects, 2014
Five previously identified semiochemicals from the sexually deceptive Western Australian hammer orchid Drakaea livida, all showing electrophysiological activity in gas chromatography–electroantennogram detection (EAD) studies, were tested in field ...

Anastrepha grandis: Distribution, Host Plants, and Management—A Review

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 977-988, September 2026.
This graphic summary illustrates the databases and languages used in the bibliographic search for the review of the geographic distribution of Anastrepha grandis (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Americas and different regions of Brazil, the main host plants of the Cucurbitaceae family, the management strategies used, and the main challenges related to the

Semiochemical and Vibrational Cues and Signals Mediating Mate Finding and Courtship in Psylloidea (Hemiptera): A Synthesis

Insects, 2014
Mate finding and courtship involve complex interactions that require close coordination between individuals of the opposite gender. Well-organized signalling systems, sometimes involving a combination of signal modalities, are required to convey species ...

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

Establishing Baseline Information for the Risk of Flatheaded Borer Attack in Specialty Tree Crops Using Trapping and On‐Farm Surveys

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 446-459, September 2026.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Molecular Recognition Mechanism of Key VOCs by Odorant-Binding Proteins in the Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera)

Insects
The western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) relies on odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) to locate maize hosts and mates via volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, the molecular recognition mechanisms of specific attractants, such as (E)-

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Mitogenomics of Culex pipiens Form Pipiens From the Turkish Black Sea Region Reveals Structural Conservation and Phylogenetic Complexity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Complete mitochondrial genomes of five Turkish Culex pipiens form pipiens isolates from the Black Sea region revealed highly conserved mitogenome architecture. Expanded comparisons across the broader Cx. pipiens complex showed that mitochondrial diversity was concentrated in selected loci and terminal regions associated with the A + T‐rich control ...
