Recognition is a fundamental process on which all subsequent behaviors are based at every organizational level, from the gene up to the super-organism. At the whole organism level, visual recognition is the best understood. However, chemical communic... Read More about Species-Specific Cuticular Hydrocarbon Stability within European Myrmica Ants..

Age estimation of Calliphora (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae using cuticular hydrocarbon analysis and Artificial Neural Networks. (2016)
Journal Article

Age estimation of Calliphora (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae using cuticular hydrocarbon analysis and Artificial Neural Networks. Forensic Science International, 81 - 91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2016.09.012

Cuticular hydrocarbons were extracted daily from the larvae of two closely related blowflies Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera: Calliphoridae). The hydrocarbons were then analysed using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS),...

Abstract Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have evolved as a communication cues and they play a significant role in the life of social insect. Although the primary function is to prevent desiccation, CHCs are also used in recognition of individuals and i...

The Long and the Short of Mate Attraction in a Psylloid: do Semiochemicals Mediate Mating in Aacanthocnema dobsoni Froggatt? (2016)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2016). The Long and the Short of Mate Attraction in a Psylloid: do Semiochemicals Mediate Mating in Aacanthocnema dobsoni Froggatt?. Journal of Chemical Ecology, 163 -172. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-016-0674-2

Mating is preceded by a series of interdependent events that can be broadly categorized into searching and courtship. Long-range signals convey species- and sex-specific information during searching, while short-range signals provide information spec...
