Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

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 …

Plant volatiles comprise thousands of molecules from multiple metabolic pathways,
distinguished by sufficient vapor pressure to evaporate into the headspace under normal …

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 …

Olfactory circuits change structurally and physiologically during development and adult life.
This allows insects to respond to olfactory cues in an appropriate and adaptive way …

Natural selection is notoriously dynamic in nature, and so, too, is sexual selection. The
interactions between phytophagous insects and their host plants have provided valuable …

Abstract At present, Acrobasis advenella (Zinck.)(Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) is the most
dangerous pest of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa [Michx.] Elliot). Damaged flower …

Yeasts form mutualistic interactions with insects. Hallmarks of this interaction include
provision of essential nutrients, while insects facilitate yeast dispersal and growth on plant …

Peach fruit volatile acetate esters impact consumer sensory preference and contribute to
defense against biotic stresses. Previous studies showed that alcohol acyltransferase (AAT) …

To extract any adaptive benefit, the circadian clock needs to be synchronized to the 24-h day-
night cycles. We have investigated if it is a general property of the brain's circadian clock to …
