Plant Chemicals and the Sexual Behavior of Male Tephritid Fruit Flies

TL;DR: Several factors, such as age and nutrition during larval and adult stage, that modulate the effect of plant compounds on male mating behavior as well as some prominent gaps that preclude a thorough understanding of the plant-mediated enhancement of male sexual performance limit the ability to effectively utilize phytochemicals in pest control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature-Inspired Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithms for Optical Circuit-Switched Polymorphic Networks

TL;DR: The fundamentals of OCSPNs are reviewed and a set of efficient RWA algorithms based on ant colony optimization and genetic algorithms are presented, which improve the performance of this network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heptyl butyrate, a putative pheromone involved in social communication of Vespula germanica wasps

TL;DR: Results from this study suggest that heptyl butyrate is a pheromonal compound involved in attracting conspecifics to food resources, but other cues are needed to trigger landing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant‐based compounds with potential as push‐pull stimuli to manage behavior of leaf‐cutting ants

TL;DR: Results suggest that repellents can be enhanced by the use of attractants to manage leaf‐cutting ants behavior and encourage long‐term studies with these substances in a field setting.
