Evolutionary importance of intraspecific variation in sex pheromones
Sex pheromones in many insect species are important species-recognition signals that
attract conspecifics and inhibit attraction between heterospecifics; therefore, sex …

A novel terpene synthase controls differences in anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production between closely related Heliconius butterflies
Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not
much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals. The terpene …

A plant factory for moth pheromone production
Moths depend on pheromone communication for mate finding and synthetic pheromones
are used for monitoring or disruption of pheromone communication in pest insects. Here we …
