Yeast cells are often employed in industrial fermentation processes for their ability to
efficiently convert relatively high concentrations of sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide …

We provide a synthesis of the literature describing biochemical interactions between
microorganisms and insects by way of microbial volatile organic compound (MVOC) …

The paper presents data on the use of simple crown traps for studying the insect fauna. The
crown trap is a five-litre plastic container with a window cut out on one side of it at a distance …

Drosophila have evolved strong mutualistic associations with yeast communities that best
support their growth and survival, resulting in the development of novel niches. It has been …

Yeast volatiles attract insects, which apparently is of mutual benefit, for both yeasts and
insects. However, it is unknown whether biosynthesis of metabolites that attract insects is a …

The larva of codling moth Cydia pomonella (Tortricidae, Lepidoptera) is known as the worm
in the apple, mining the fruit for food. We here show that codling moth larvae are closely …

BACKGROUND Maize is one of the world's most important crops, so its stable production
and supply is crucial for food security and socioeconomic development. The cotton …

We report here a first survey of insect orientation to fungal cultures and fungal volatiles from
a community ecology perspective. We tested whether volatiles from a ubiquitous yeast-like …

Aiming to gain insights into the impact of storage conditions on the chemical profile of beer
samples, changes on the relative amount of several chemical classes of compounds was …

Herbivorous insects use information about volatile substances to select their host plants. The
possibility that insects use these volatiles to assess the infection status of a host plant has …
