Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

Pheromones are chemicals that serve intraspecific communication. In animals, the ability to
detect and discriminate pheromones in a complex chemical environment substantially …

Thousands of exoplanets are known to orbit nearby stars. Plans for the next generation of
space-based and ground-based telescopes are fueling the anticipation that a precious few …

Chemical communication involves the production, transmission, and perception of odors.
Most adult insects rely on chemical signals and cues to locate food resources, oviposition …

Lipocalins (LCNs) are members of a family of evolutionarily conserved genes present in all
kingdoms of life. There are 19 LCN-like genes in the human genome, and 45 Lcn-like genes …

In nature, coordinated communication between different entities enables a group to
accomplish sophisticated functionalities that go beyond those carried out by individual …

Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small water-soluble proteins mainly associated with
olfaction, facilitating the transport of odorant molecules to their relevant receptors in the …

The potential of semiochemicals for the targeted behavior manipulation of insects has been
known for a long time. Their low impact on non-target organisms makes them interesting …

Insect antenna is a multisensory organ, each modality of which can be modulated by
biogenic amines. Octopamine (OA) and its metabolic precursor tyramine (TA) affect activity …

Effective early detection, monitoring and management methods are critical for reducing the
impacts of insect pests in agriculture and forestry. Combining host plant volatiles with sex …
