The association of insect herbivores with their host plants is influenced by behaviors
governing acceptance of those plants for feeding and oviposition. Behavioral changes …

The overall interest in environmentally safe pest control methods and the rise of insecticide
resistance in pest populations have prompted medical and agricultural entomology research …

Animals discriminate stimuli, learn their predictive value and use this knowledge to modify
their behavior. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) plays a key role in these processes …

Associative learning is thought to involve parallel and distributed mechanisms of memory
formation and storage. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) is the major site of …

Innate behaviours are observed in naive animals without prior learning or experience,
suggesting that the neural circuits that mediate these behaviours are genetically determined …

abstract These second edition guidelines, updated from the 2007 version (Marchiondo et al.,
2007), are intended to assist the planning and conduct of laboratory and clinical studies to …

Animals employ diverse learning rules and synaptic plasticity dynamics to record temporal
and statistical information about the world. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying …

Herbivory is a key innovation in insects, yet has only evolved in one-third of living orders.
The evolution of herbivory likely involves major behavioral changes mediated by remodeling …

Plant volatiles released in response to feeding insects are known to attract enemies of the
feeding herbivores. In this study, egg deposition by a herbivorous insect was shown to …

The nanoencapsulation of botanical compounds (such as geraniol) is an important strategy
that can be used to increase the stability and efficiency of these substances in integrated …
