Arma chinensis is a predaceous insect species that can effectively suppress a wide range of agricultural and forest insect pests in the orders Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Hemiptera in Northeast Asia. Adult A. chinensis males produce an aggregation-sex pheromone from dorsal abdominal glands and artificial aggregation-sex pheromone can attract adults of both sexes. The aggregation-sex p...... hiện toàn bộ
Piperidine alkaloids from fire ants are not sequestered by the green and black poison frog (Dendrobates auratus)CHEMOECOLOGY - Tập 31 - Trang 391-396 - 2021

Neotropical poison frogs possess alkaloid-based antipredator defenses which they sequester from a diet of arthropods such as oribatid mites and myrmicine ants. Alkaloid sequestration is still poorly understood and although several studies have examined its uptake, most experiments directly feed alkaloids to the frogs. Here, we examined the alkaloid uptake system in the poison frog species Dendroba...... hiện toàn bộ
Does defoliation induce chemical and morphological defenses in the leaves of silver birch seedlings under changing climate?CHEMOECOLOGY - Tập 18 - Trang 85-98 - 2007

We examined the effects of defoliation con-currently with elevated temperature and CO2 on some chemical and morphological characteristics in the leaves of silver birch seedlings (Betula pendula). We also analyzed the consequent changes in the palatability of leaves for adult blue alder leaf beetles (Agelastica alni). Under the different climatic treatments, the seedlings were subjected to three fe...... hiện toàn bộ
