1.
van Doorn G, Schepers J, Hut R, Groot A
Evol Lett . 2025 Feb; 9(1):65-76. PMID: 39906588
Noctuid moths provide prime examples of species in various stages of allochronic speciation, where reproductive barriers are mediated by genetic divergence in daily or seasonal timing. Theory indicates that allochronic...

de Roode J, Groot A
Trends Ecol Evol . 2024 Nov; 40(3):238-247. PMID: 39613686
Aposematic animals couple unprofitability to predators, such as toxicity, with a warning signal, such as conspicuous coloration. Although toxicity and coloration can provide effective protection against predation, these traits also...

Gao K, van der Heide W, Muijderman D, Nichols S, Karwal C, Kuperus P, et al.
Insect Sci . 2024 May; 32(1):290-300. PMID: 38769890
Given the limited availability of resources in nature, sexual attractiveness may trade off with immunocompetence, as the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis (ICHH) posits. In invertebrates, a direct link between trade-offs through...

Mazzoni V, Anfora G, Cocroft R, Fatouros N, Groot A, Gross J, et al.
Trends Plant Sci . 2024 May; 29(8):848-855. PMID: 38744599
Living organisms use both chemical and mechanical stimuli to survive in their environment. Substrate-borne vibrations play a significant role in mediating behaviors in animals and inducing physiological responses in plants,...
5.
Akinbuluma M, van Schaijk R, Roessingh P, Groot A
J Chem Ecol . 2024 Feb; 50(11):631-642. PMID: 38421546
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a global pest that feeds on  > 350 plant species and causes major yield loses. Variation in the responses of S. frugiperda...

de Fouchier A, Fruitet E, Lievers R, Kuperus P, Emerson J, Gould F, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 Nov; 14(1):7505. PMID: 37980401
Moth sex pheromones are a classical model for studying sexual selection. Females typically produce a species-specific pheromone blend that attracts males. Revealing the enzymes involved in the interspecific variation in...

Zweerus N, van Wijk M, Schal C, Groot A
Sci Rep . 2023 Nov; 13(1):19802. PMID: 37957216
Sexual signals often function in species recognition and may also guide mate choice within a species. In noctuid moths, both males and females may exercise mate choice. Females of the...

Groot A, Blankers T, Halfwerk W, Burdfield Steel E
Annu Rev Entomol . 2023 Aug; 69:21-40. PMID: 37562048
The evolution of sexual communication is critically important in the diversity of arthropods, which are declining at a fast pace worldwide. Their environments are rapidly changing, with increasing chemical, acoustic,...

Liu Y, Heath J, Zhang S, van Wijk M, Wang G, Buellesbach J, et al.
Curr Biol . 2023 Aug; 33(16):3529-3535.e4. PMID: 37531958
Insects rely on olfaction to guide a wide range of adaptive behaviors, including mate and food localization, mate choice, oviposition site selection, kin recognition, and predator avoidance. In nocturnal insects,...

Zweerus N, Caton L, de Jeu L, Groot A
J Evol Biol . 2023 Apr; 36(5):780-794. PMID: 37026574
Chemical communication is ubiquitous in nature and chemical signals convey species-specific messages. Despite their specificity, chemical signals may not be limited to only one function. Identifying alternative functions of chemical...
