Insects are the most widespread group of organisms and more than one million species
have been described. These animals have significant ecological functions, for example they …

The main function of cuticular lipids in insects is the restriction of water transpiration through
the surface. Lipids are involved in various types of chemical communication between …

Epicuticular lipids in many terrestrial arthropods consist of vast numbers of polar and non-
polar aliphatic compounds, which are mainly responsible for the water balance in these …

The hygroscopic secretion produced by the secretory setae of terrestrial larvae of the biting
midge Forcipomyia nigra (Winnertz) was analysed using gas chromatography coupled with …

Fatty acids as components of cuticular lipids of insects play a significant role in antifungal in
protection against fungal infection. The chemical composition of cuticular and internal …

Temperature is one of the primary environmental drivers of the distribution of species, and
particularly high temperatures challenge physiological processes by disruption of cellular …

In a laboratory bioassay, adult female Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)(Thysanoptera:
Thripidae) spent more time near filter paper disks that had been exposed to adult males than …

The paper presents the state of knowledge on the chromatographic techniques used in the
analysis of insect lipids. Lipids are one of the forms of protection against entomopathogenic …

Aims This article describes the qualitative and quantitative analyses of untypical compounds
in the cuticular and internal lipids of four dipteran species. For isolated compounds …

The cuticular and internal lipid composition in Calliphoravomitoria larvae, pupae, and male
and female adults was studied. The free fatty acid (FA) compositions of the lipids were …
