Pheromones are chemical signals whose composition varies enormously between species.
Despite pheromones being a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, particularly among …

Odours play a very important role in the life of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. In
the present paper, a review is given of the current knowledge of morphology, development …

Pheromone-based behaviours are crucial in animals from insects to mammals,, and
reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences,,,. However, the genetic …

This is the first book focusing on the chemoecology of insect eggs and egg deposition. It
covers a wide range of different issues including herbivorous and carnivorous insects, social …

We review the evidence for genetic variation in female and male mate preferences. Genetic
differences between species and partially isolated races show that preferences can evolve …

Insects display a staggering diversity of mating and social behaviours. Studying these
systems provides insights into a wide range of evolutionary and behavioural questions, such …

Background The European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner), exists as two
separate sex pheromone races. ECB (Z) females produce a 97∶ 3 blend of Z11-and E11 …

The European cornborer antenna is filiform in both sexes, but exhibits a substantially larger
diameter in the males. On the antenna of both sexes, the following sensillum types were …

Significant progress has been made recently in research on lepidopterous sex pheromones.
Advances in understanding the biochemical, neurobiological, and behavioral events that …

Single-cell electrophysiological recordings were obtained from olfactory receptor neurons in
sensilla trichodea on male antennae of the heliothine species Heliothis subflexa and the …
