Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profile of Parasitic Beetles, <i>Aethina tumida</i> (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) cover insects’ bodies and play important roles in chemical communication, including nestmate recognition, for social insects. To enter colonies of a social host species, parasites may acquire host-specific CHCs or covertly maintain their own CHC profile by lowering its...
