Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

Sexual Selection in a Brentid Weevil [PDF]
Evolution, 1982 In most insects, differences between the sexes involve not only primary characters necessary for gamete production, copulation, and oviposition, but also sexual structures and behaviors involved in the acquisition of mates. The most striking of these secondary characters, such as exaggerated size, weaponry, or coloration, tend to occur in males, and ...
