Evolution of queen pheromone receptor tuning in four honeybee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apis) by Julia Mariette, Julie Carcaud, Thierry Louis, Eleanor Lacassagne, Ilana Servais, Nicolas Montagné, Thomas Chertemps, Emmanuelle Jacquin-Joly, Camille Meslin, Frédéric Marion-Poll, Jean-Christophe Sandoz

“…Summary: Honeybees (genus: Apis) use a plethora of pheromones for intraspecific communication. The primary compound produced by the queen’s mandibular glands, 9-ODA, is involved in mating in all Apis species. …”

Pheromonal variation and mating between two mitotypes of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Africa by Birhanu Sisay, Amanuel Tamiru, Sevgan Subramanian, Christopher W. Weldon, Fathiya Khamis, Kristina Karlsson Green, Peter Anderson, Baldwyn Torto

“…Despite their names, these strains are not associated with host plant preferences but have been shown to vary in pheromone composition and male responses. Recently, S. frugiperda was detected in Africa as an invasive species, but knowledge about variation in strain types, pheromone composition and inter-strain mating of populations of the pest in the continent has not been fully examined. …”

Stochasticity in the enterococcal sex pheromone response revealed by quantitative analysis of transcription in single cells. by Rebecca J Breuer, Arpan Bandyopadhyay, Sofie A O'Brien, Aaron M T Barnes, Ryan C Hunter, Wei-Shou Hu, Gary M Dunny

“…In Enterococcus faecalis, sex pheromone-mediated transfer of antibiotic resistance plasmids can occur under unfavorable conditions, for example, when inducing pheromone concentrations are low and inhibiting pheromone concentrations are high. …”

Inheritance of central neuroanatomy and physiology related to pheromone preference in the male European corn borer by Hansson Bill S, Olsson Shannon, Kárpáti Zsolt, Dekker Teun

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The European corn borer (ECB), <it>Ostrinia nubilalis</it>, is a textbook example of pheromone polymorphism. Males of the two strains (Z and E) prefer opposite ratios of the two pheromone components, Z11- and E11-tetradecenyl acetate, with a sex-linked factor underlying this difference in preference. …”

Aggregation pheromones have a non-linear effect on oviposition behavior in Drosophila melanogaster by Thomas A. Verschut, Renny Ng, Nicolas P. Doubovetzky, Guillaume Le Calvez, Jan L. Sneep, Adriaan J. Minnaard, Chih-Ying Su, Mikael A. Carlsson, Bregje Wertheim, Jean-Christophe Billeter

“…Here, Verschut et al. identify a mechanism enabling Drosophila females to favor egg-laying sites containing medium concentrations of aggregation pheromones, which may facilitate choice of favorable sites.…”

Aerial application of pheromones for mating disruption of an invasive moth as a potential eradication tool. by Eckehard G Brockerhoff, David M Suckling, Mark Kimberley, Brian Richardson, Graham Coker, Stefan Gous, Jessica L Kerr, David M Cowan, David R Lance, Tara Strand, Aijun Zhang

“…Formulations were applied by helicopter at a target rate of 40 g pheromone per ha. Trap catch before and after application was used to assess the efficacy and longevity of formulations, in comparison with plots treated with ground-applied pheromone dispensers and untreated control plots. …”

Functional characterization of alkaline phosphatases involved alarm pheromone in the vetch aphid Megoura viciae by Xuan Song, Yao-Guo Qin, Yi-Han Zhang, Yu-Bei Zhou, Dan Chen, Dong-Hai Xie, Zheng-Xi Li

“…We also found that MvALP4 involved the biosynthesis of aphid alarm pheromones (EβF) in vitro and in vivo. Finally, transcriptome analysis in the stimulated and unstimulated aphids supported the involvement of MvALPs in the biosynthesis of aphid alarm pheromones. …”

Natural variation in the strength and direction of male mating preferences for female pheromones in Drosophila melanogaster. by Alison Pischedda, Michael P Shahandeh, Wesley G Cochrane, Veronica A Cochrane, Thomas L Turner

“…By perfuming females with CHCs and performing mate choice tests, we found that some male genotypes prefer females with pheromones, some have no apparent preference, and at least one male genotype prefers females without pheromones. …”
