Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for insects and their olfactory environment is
mostly made up of plant-emitted volatiles. The terrestrial vegetation produces an amazing …

Insect intraspecific olfactory communication occurs in a complex sensory environment. Here
we present recent results on how the olfactory system extracts specific information from a …

Kairomones are chemical signals that mediate interspecific interactions beneficial to
organisms that detect the cues. These attractants can be individual compounds or mixtures …

In most sensory modalities the underlying physical phenomena are well understood, and
stimulus properties can be precisely controlled. In olfaction, the situation is different. The …

Semiochemicals such as herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) and host chemicals
serve as communication signals for parasitoids searching for oviposition sites. The braconid …

The main aim of the presented paper is to assess the potential repellent effect of selected
essential oils (EOs) against the lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus), which can cause …

The insects' infestation decreases the nutritive value of the stored grains and causes losses
in its weight, quality, or economic values. The aim of the present study was to investigate the …

Symbiotic microbial communities affect the host immune system and produce molecules
contributing to the odor of an individual. In many mammalian species, saliva and vaginal …

Linalool oxide (LO) and hexanoic acid (HA) represent plant-and human-derived odorants,
respectively, previously found as attractants for the dengue vector Aedes aegypti. Here, we …

Interactions between Aedes (Stegomyia) species and non-human primate (NHP) and
human hosts govern the transmission of the pathogens, dengue, zika, yellow fever and …
