Ectotherm animals including insects are known to undergo seasonal restructuring of the cell
membranes in order to keep their functionality and/or protect their structural integrity at low …

The methyl-branched lipids considered in this review consist of long-chain alcohols, fatty
acids, esters and hydrocarbons. The term'hydrocarbon'is sometimes used to describe these …

Wax esters are major constituents of the surface lipids in many terrestrial arthropods, but
their study is complicated by their diversity. We developed a procedure for quantifying …

Анотація Biodegradable non-toxic surfactants of microbial origin are multifunctional
preparations, which due to antimicrobial activity are promising for use in crop production to …

The chemical composition of tick cuticles acts as a barrier to pathogens and may limit
infection by entomopathogenic fungi. This study characterized the cuticular neutral lipids …

Larvae of the silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) and the rice stem-borer (Chilo simplex Butl.)
become highly susceptible to muscardines when their cuticular lipids are either …

This paper reports on the chemical constituents of the cuticular lipids of a phasmatid with
special emphasis on differences in composition between the sexes. Wax esters that were …

Epicuticular lipids provide the primary barrier to water loss in insects and other terrestrial
arthropods. Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, we found that the melting …

Cotesia plutellae is a specialist parasitoid of Plutella xylostella. This specificity is potentially
under the control of several factors before and after oviposition. Thereby, the stimuli that lead …
