Journal ArticleDOI
Specialized cells tag sexual and species identity in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: The results identify a common mechanism for sexual and species recognition regulated by cuticular hydrocarbons, and provide direct evidence that a single compound is used to communicate female identity among D. melanogaster, and to define a reproductive isolation barrier between D. pigmentaster and sibling species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conserved class of queen pheromones stops social insect workers from reproducing.
Annette Van Oystaeyen,Ricardo Caliari Oliveira,Luke Holman,Jelle S. van Zweden,Carmen Romero,Cintia Akemi Oi,Patrizia d'Ettorre,Mohammadreza Khalesi,Johan Billen,Felix L. Wäckers,Jocelyn G. Millar,Tom Wenseleers +11 more
TL;DR: The results show that queen pheromones are strikingly conserved across at least three independent origins of eusociality, with wasps, ants, and some bees all appearing to use nonvolatile, saturated hydrocarbons to advertise fecundity and/or suppress worker reproduction.
BookDOI
Advances in insect chemical ecology
Ring T. Cardé,Jocelyn G. Millar +1 more
TL;DR: The chemical ecology of fragrance-driven pollination and the relationship between tiger moths and plants containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids and the structure of the pheromone communication channel in moths are studied.
Journal Article
Identification of oviposition attractants for Culex quinquefasciatus from fermented Bermuda grass infusions.
TL;DR: Compounds which attract and stimulate oviposition by gravid Culex quinquefasciatus were isolated and identified from a fermented Bermuda grass infusion, and bioassays with individual compounds showed that only 3-methylindole consistently induced Oviposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single gene affects both ecological divergence and mate choice in Drosophila
Henry F.L. Chung,David W. Loehlin,Héloïse D. Dufour,Kathy Vaccarro,Jocelyn G. Millar,Sean B. Carroll +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that methyl-branched cuticular hydrocarbons (mbCHCs) are a dual trait that affects both desiccation resistance and mate choice in Drosophila serrata, and suggested that ecologically influenced changes in the production of mbCHCs have contributed to reproductive isolation between the two species.
