Proc Biol Sci
. 2024 Mar;
291(2018):20232518.
PMID: 38444335
Mate recognition is paramount for sexually reproducing animals, and many insects rely on cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) for close-range sexual communication. To ensure reliable mate recognition, intraspecific sex pheromone variability should...

. 2023 Feb;
290(1992):20221784.
PMID: 36750190
Social insect queens and workers can engage in conflict over reproductive allocation when they have different fitness optima. Here, we show that queens have control over queen-worker caste allocation in...

J Chem Ecol
. 2023 Jan;
49(1-2):36-45.
PMID: 36705801
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are major constituents of the cuticular lipid layer of insects. They serve not only as a barrier to desiccation, but often additionally mediate communication at close range....

. 2021 Oct;
198(5):E136-E151.
PMID: 34648396
AbstractCuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are waxy compounds on the surface of insects that prevent desiccation and frequently serve as chemical signals mediating social and mating behaviors. Although their function in eusocial...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2021 May;
288(1951):20210548.
PMID: 34034524
Fatty acids are crucial primary metabolites for virtually all creatures on earth. Most organisms thus do not rely exclusively on a nutritional supply containing fatty acids, but have the ability...

. 2021 Apr;
107(2):e21788.
PMID: 33817829
Linoleic acid (C18:2 , LA) is an important metabolite with numerous essential functions for growth, health, and reproduction of organisms. It has long been assumed that animals lack ∆12-desaturases, the...

J Exp Biol
. 2020 Feb;
223(Pt 6).
PMID: 32098887
Social insect societies are characterized by division of labour and communication within the colony. The most frequent mode of communication is by chemical signals. In general, pheromones elicit specific responses...

. 2017 Feb;
98(4):1140-1152.
PMID: 28144949
Many insects rely on chemical signals to transmit precise information on the location, identity, and quality of potential mates. Chemical signals are often broadcasted at sites with physical properties that...
