As a consequence of the diversity of Lepidoptera, including 150,000 described species,
interesting species-specific sex pheromone systems are exhibited in this insect group. The …

Plant volatiles are used not only by herbivorous insects to find their host plants, but also by
the natural enemies of the herbivores to find their prey. There is also increasing evidence …

Insects, like many other animals, use sex pheromones to coordinate their reproductive
behaviours. Volatile pheromones are detected by odorant receptors expressed in olfactory …

This paper reviews the characteristics of pheromone and odorant-binding proteins (OBP) in
insects, with particular reference to Lepidoptera. They are small (15 kDa) soluble proteins …

Animal Communication by Pheromones describes how the behavior of animals is controlled
and influenced by pheromone communication. This book describes the mechanism through …

This book focuses on chemicals that effect aggregation for mating and elicit sexual behavior
in insects, mites, and ticks, mainly on" sex pheromonal" or" mating" activity. These …

The antennal lobe of the moth brain is the primary olfactory center processing information
about pheromones and plant odors. We present here a digital atlas of the glomerular …

The circadian rhythm of behavior has interested many researchers in the past decades, yet
amazingly little is known on the evolution of natural variation in circadian rhythms of …

The rules governing the central discrimination of odors are complex and poorly understood,
but a growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that olfactory glomeruli may …
