Revealing chlorinated ethene transformation hotspots in a nitrate-impacted hyporheic zone (2019)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2019). Revealing chlorinated ethene transformation hotspots in a nitrate-impacted hyporheic zone. Water Research, 222-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2019.05.083

Hyporheic zones are increasingly thought of as natural bioreactors, capable of transforming and attenuating groundwater pollutants present in diffuse baseflow. An underappreciated scenario in the understanding of contaminant fate hyporheic zones is t...

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
Moore, H. E., Butcher, J. B., Adam, C. D., Day, C. R., & Drijfhout, F. P. (2016). 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),...

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...

A High Throughput Ambient Mass Spectrometric Approach to Species Identification and Classification from Chemical Fingerprint Signatures. (2015)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2015). A High Throughput Ambient Mass Spectrometric Approach to Species Identification and Classification from Chemical Fingerprint Signatures. Scientific reports, 11520 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep11520

A high throughput method for species identification and classification through chemometric processing of direct analysis in real time (DART) mass spectrometry-derived fingerprint signatures has been developed. The method entails introduction of sampl... Read More about A High Throughput Ambient Mass Spectrometric Approach to Species Identification and Classification from Chemical Fingerprint Signatures..

The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants (2008)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2008). The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants. PloS one, e3838 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0003838

It is unclear why some species become successful invaders whilst others fail, and whether invasive success depends on pre-adaptations already present in the native range or on characters evolving de-novo after introduction. Ants are among the worst i... Read More about The evolution of invasiveness in garden ants.

The introduction history of invasive garden ants in Europe: integrating genetic, chemical and behavioural approaches (2008)

BACKGROUND: The invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, is the most recently detected pest ant and the first known invasive ant able to become established and thrive in the temperate regions of Eurasia. In this study, we aim to reconstruct the invasio... Read More about The introduction history of invasive garden ants in Europe: integrating genetic, chemical and behavioural approaches.
