The genetics of sexually dimorphic traits implicated in sexual isolation in Drosophila : QTLs and candidate genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This study is primarily concerned with assessing the influence of the sex determination genes, transformer (tra), doublesex (dsx) and fruitless (fru) on three sexually dimorphic traits within Drosophila; pheromone blend, courtship song and sex comb tooth

Initial studies of mating disruption of the tomato moth, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) using synthetic sex pheromone

open access: yesJournal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2000
The potential of the synthetic major component of T. absoluta (Meyrick) sex pheromone for mating disruption was studied in small plots (0.01 hectares) with fresh-market tomato crop.

Shifts in type 2 vomeronasal receptor expression during postnatal development in the lungfish olfactory organ

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Lungfish possess a lamellar OE and a primitive VNO called as a recess epithelium (RecE). Among the lungfish V2Rs expressed in both the lamellar OE and the RecE in small individuals, some became restricted to the RecE in large individuals. These results suggest functional separation between the lamellar OE and the RecE is still incomplete in juveniles ...

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

The evolutionary origins of streptophyte multicellularity

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
The phylogeny of streptophytes and the deep origin of branching filamentous growth. Summary Over their more than 1 billion years of evolutionary history, streptophytes have repeatedly transitioned between unicellular, simple multicellular and complex multicellular forms.

Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

Identification of nematodes volatile sex pheromone functional components and the molecular basis of sex pheromone perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Our lab studies the molecular basis of chemosensory behaviors. Sexually mature C. remanei females and self-sperm exhausted C. elegans hermaphrodites produce an attractant detectable by adult C. remanei and C. elegans males.

Enterobacter supplement and ambient conditions determine the performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Partial replacement of Brewer's yeast (protein source) with inactivated Enterobacter biomass during larval development enhanced mating competitiveness of sterile VIENNA 8 GSS males under outdoor field‐cage conditions. Sterile male mating performance was season‐dependent, with highest competitiveness in spring, intermediate in autumn and the lowest ...

9-Methylgermacrene-B; proposed structure for novel homosesquiterpene from the sex pheromone glands of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae) from Lapinha, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The principal volatile component (99+ %) of the sex pheromone glands of Lutzomyia longipalpis from Lapinha, Brazil, has been isolated and characterized as a novel homosesquiterpene with the specific structure proposed as 9-methylgermacrene-B, (E,E)-8-(1 ...
