DOI: 10.1017/s0007485324000142
Abstract: One of the key reasons for the poor performance of natural enemies of honeydew-producing insect pests is mutualism between ants and some aphid species. The findings demonstrated that red wood ant, Formica rufa Linnaeus (Hymenoptera:… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.2c07355
Abstract: A total of 12 OBPs were identified in the antennae of ladybird Hippodamia variegata. HvarOBP1/2/5/6/10/11 were highly expressed in adults, whereas HvarOBP3/4/7/8/9/12 had higher expression levels in larvae. In adults, HvarOBP1/2/4/5/6/7/8/11/12 were highly expressed in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.4c05493
Abstract: In natural environments, general plant volatiles and herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) serve as critical clues for predatory natural enemies in the search for prey. The insect olfactory system plays a vital role in perceiving plant… read more here.
