Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of whitefly parasitoids on the cuticular
lipid composition of the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows and Perring …

Farming insects has recently emerged as a new source of protein and lipid production. To
date, research has mostly focused on food applications of insects. Focusing on nonfood …

The composition of cuticular and internal n-alkanes in Lucilia sericata larvae, pupae, and
male and female imagines were studied. The cuticular and internal lipid extracts were …

Lipids play an essential role in providing energy and other physiological functions for
insects. Therefore, it is important to determine the composition of insect lipids from cuticular …

The cuticular lipids of laboratory-reared tobacco budworms, Heliothis virescens (Fabricius),
and corn earworms, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), pupae were characterized. Quantities of …

Wax esters of secondary alcohols constitute 18–20% of the cuticular lipid extract
ofMelanoplus packardii and 26–31% of the cuticular lipids ofMelanoplus sanguinipes. The …

Cuticular lipids were isolated and identified from larvae, adult females and adult males of the
pecan weevil, Curculio caryae. The surface lipids of the larvae were dominated by …

We examined the biophysical properties of cuticular lipids isolated from the housefly, Musca
domestica. Melting temperatures (Tm) of surface lipids isolated from female houseflies …

The interactions between entomopathogenic fungi and insects serve a classic example of a
co-evolutionary arms race between pathogens and their target host. The cuticle, site of the …

The cuticular lipids extracted from the larvae of the black carpet beetle, Attagenus
megatoma, form a very hard wax with a melting point of 76–78° C. The hydrocarbons …
