Plants in this family are ideal candidates for the technology, as they already naturally produce large amounts of volatile compounds. The researchers produced a genetically modified dwarf version of ...
Scientists have identified a volatile pheromone emitted by the tsetse fly, a blood-sucking insect that spreads diseases in both humans and animals across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The discovery ...
A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC) has developed genetically ...
Methods are lacking for controlling the spread of disease among humans and livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Now, a new insight into how tsetse flies mate could bolster the arsenal of tools to manage ...
Creamy-colored and just a couple of centimeters long, the cotton bollworm doesn’t look like much. But around the world, this highly mobile moth has farmers breaking out in a sweat. Females can lay ...
The hallmark of social insects is their caste system: reproduction is primarily monopolized by queens, whereas workers specialize in the other tasks required for colony growth and survival. Pheromones ...
An international research team demonstrates that the European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) uses volatile fungal metabolites of plant defense substances as important chemical signals in their ...
