Mating induces profound physiological changes in a wide range of insects, leading to
behavioural adjustments to match the internal state of the animal. Here, we show for the first time, …

Background Plants under herbivore attack release volatiles that attract natural enemies, and
herbivores in turn avoid such plants. Whilst herbivore-induced plant volatile blends …

Background The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith), is a global pest
that feeds on >350 plant species and severely limits production of cultivated grasses, …

Selection of oviposition sites by gravid females is a critical behavioral step in the reproductive
cycle of Anopheles coluzzii, which is one of the principal Afrotropical malaria vector …

Anopheles gambiae coluzzii (An. coluzzii) uses olfaction to modulate a range of critical
behaviors that are essential for survival and reproduction; most notably, host preference and …

Mating has profound effects on animal physiology and behaviour, not only in females but
also in males, which we show here for olfactory responses. In cotton leafworm moths, …

Mate recognition is crucial for reproductive isolation and for maintaining species integrity.
Chemosensory-mediated sexual communication with pheromones is an essential component …

The insect olfactory system discriminates odor signals of different biological relevance, which
drive innate behavior. Identification of stimuli that trigger upwind flight attraction toward …

Reproductive fitness and survival are enhanced by adaptive behaviors that are modulated
by internal physiological states and external social contexts. The common bed bug, Cimex …

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) are obligate hematophagous
ectoparasites, and, therefore, must locate suitable hosts to ensure survival and reproduction. Their …
