The idea of using species-specific behavior-modifying chemicals for the management of
noxious insects in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, stored products, and for insect vectors of …

Abstract Heliothine moths (Lepidoptera: Heliothinae) include some of the world's most
devastating pest species. Whereas the majority of nonpest heliothinae specialize on a single …

Attract-and-kill has considerable potential as a tactic in integrated management of pests of
agricultural crops, but the use of sex pheromones as attractants is limited by male multiple …

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

Antennae are often considered to be the nostrils of insects. Here, we sequenced the
transcriptome of the pheromone gland-ovipositor complex of Helicoverpa assulta and …

Mating induces profound physiological changes in a wide range of insects, leading to
behavioural adjustments to match the internal state of the animal. Here, we show for the first …

BACKGROUND The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, has developed resistance to
almost all insecticides used for its control. The 'push–pull'method has been shown as an …

Semiochemicals are signalling chemicals used to carry information between living
organisms and which cause changes in their behaviour. They are emitted by one individual …

As global biodiversity declines, biodiversity and conservation have become ever more
important research topics. Research in chemical ecology for conservation purposes has not …

Tritrophic interactions play a pivotal role in maintaining a functional agroecosystem. After
damaged by phytophagous insects, host plants release a blend of odorants called herbivore …
