Synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>. [PDF]
Beilstein J Org ChemTribolium castaneum Herbst is a destructive stored product pest. The aggregation pheromone of this pest was prepared via a new and effective strategy. The key steps include the ring-opening reaction of chiral 2-methyloxirane, the stereospecific inversion of chiral secondary tosylate, Li2CuCl4-catalyzed coupling of tosylate with Grignard reagent, and ...

Traits Underlying Experimentally Evolved Dispersal Behavior in Tribolium castaneum. [PDF]
J Insect BehavAbstractDispersal is an important behavior in many animals, with profound effects on individual fitness and the evolutionary trajectories of populations. This is especially true within taxa with particular life-history strategies, for example those that exploit ephemeral habitat.
