MILLENNIUM REVIEW Twenty-five years of chemical ecology

Chemical ecology in retrospect and prospect.

C hemical ecology deals with molecularly mediated biological interactions. Its scope includes the production and chemical characterization of signal molecules, their emission and transmission mechanisms, their detection in recipient organisms, the transduction of these signals, and the neuroendocrine-mediated behavioral or developmental responses they evoke. Inevitably, given the breadth of its...

Frontiers in chemical ecology and coevolution.

There has been tremendous growth in the area of chemical ecology and the study of coevolution. Over the past decade, the pages of New Phytologist have been publishing increasingly important reviews (Strauss et al., 2005; Keeling & Bohlmann, 2006; Heil, 2008; Dudareva et al., 2013) and original studies (Leitner et al., 2005; Agrawal et al., 2009; Huang et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2013) that have...

Tropical Insect Chemical Ecology

In this chapter we describe the current state of tropical insect chemical ecology in Latin America with the aim of stimulating the use of this important tool for future generations of technicians and professionals workers in insect pest management. Sex pheromones of tropical insects that have been identified to date are mainly used for detection and population monitoring. Another strategy terme...
