Insect pheromones.
The evidence for intraspecies chemical communication in insects is reviewed, with emphasis on those studies where known organic compounds have been implicated. These signal-carrying chemicals are known as pheromones. There are two distinct types of pheromones, releasers and primers. Releaser pheromones initiate immediate behavioral responses in insects upon reception, while primer pheromones ca...
متن کاملPheromones - future techniques for insect control?
Four decades of pheromone research have provided the tools for environmentally safe control of insects through manipulation of male sexual behaviours. In Europe, disruption of mating by aerial dissemination of synthetic pheromones is used to control several economically important tortricids in orchards and vineyards on ca. 50 000 ha. In addition, attracticide lures have been developed for popul...
متن کاملConserved class of queen pheromones stops social insect workers from reproducing.
A major evolutionary transition to eusociality with reproductive division of labor between queens and workers has arisen independently at least 10 times in the ants, bees, and wasps. Pheromones produced by queens are thought to play a key role in regulating this complex social system, but their evolutionary history remains unknown. Here, we identify the first sterility-inducing queen pheromones...
