How the 100th protein structure solved at Diamond impacts our understanding of how insects smell
New research announced today, Wednesday 30th September, by a team of leading scientists working with the UK's national Synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, could have a significant impact on the development and refinement of new eco-friendly pest control methods for worldwide agriculture. view more (2009-09-30)
Scientists discover how to send insects off the scent of crops
Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)-funded research, published this week in Chemical Communication, describes how scientists have discovered molecules that could confuse insects' ability to detect plants by interfering with their sense of smell. This could reduce damage to crops by insect pests and contribute to food... view more... (2009-09-24)
Pesky fruit flies learn from experienced females: Study
A common household nuisance, the fruit fly, is capable of intricate social learning much like that used by humans, according to new research from McMaster University. view more (2009-09-17)
Biologists discover 'death stench' is a universal ancient warning signal
The smell of recent death or injury that repels living relatives of insects has been identified as a truly ancient signal that functions to avoid disease or predators, biologists have discovered. view more (2009-09-14)
Fungus Found in Humans Shown To Be Nimble in Mating Game
Brown University researchers have determined that Candida albicans, a human fungal pathogen, pursues both same-sex and the more conventional opposite-sex mating. The findings are published in the August 2009 edition of the journal Nature. view more (2009-08-13)
Chemical come-on successfully lures love-sick lampreys to traps
A synthetic chemical version of what male sea lampreys use to attract spawning females can lure them into traps and foil the mating process of the destructive invasive species, according to Michigan State University scientists. view more (2009-01-22)
Entomologists play matchmakers for cerambycid beetles
Cerambycid beetles, also known as long-horned beetles, can cause severe damage to standing trees, logs and lumber. How then might they be promptly detected and their numbers swiftly controlled? view more (2008-08-06)
Mate or hibernate? That's the question worm pheromones answer
If worms could talk, they might tell potential suitors, "I like the way you wriggle," complete with that telltale come slither look. view more (2008-07-25)
1 missing gene leads to fruitless mating rituals
Male fruit flies missing a gene for one particular odor receptor become clueless in matters of love, scientists at Duke University Medical Center have discovered. view more (2008-07-24)
Sex and lifespan linked in worms: a family of sugar-like molecules controls both
A group of scientists who set out to study sex pheromones in a tiny worm found that the same family of pheromones also controls a stage in the worms' life cycle, the long-lived dauer larva. view more (2008-07-24)
UC Davis research could lead to no scent, no sex for the Japanese beetle
If a male Japanese beetle is unable to detect the sex pheromone released by a female, he won't be able to locate her and reproduce. view more (2008-06-30)
Scripps research scientists discover chemical triggers for aggression in mice
The work, reported in an advance, online issue of the journal Nature on December 6, 2007, furthers the broad and important goal of elucidating how the neurological system can detect and respond to specific cues in of a sea of potential triggers. view more (2007-12-07)
Pheromones Identified that Trigger Aggression between Male Mice
A family of proteins commonly found in mouse urine is able to trigger fighting between male mice, a study in the Dec. 6, 2007, issue of Nature has found. view more (2007-12-06)
Scientists uncover how hormones achieve their effects
New insights into the cellular signal chain through which pheromones stimulate mating in yeast have been gained by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL]. view more (2007-10-23)
Accessory protein determines whether pheromones are detected
Pheromones are like the molecules you taste as you chomp on a greasy french fry: big and fatty. view more (2007-10-18)
For honey bee queens, multiple mating makes a difference
The success of the "reign" of a honey bee queen appears to be determined to a large degree by the number of times she mates with drone bees. view more (2007-10-09)
Edge density key to controlling gypsy moth spread
Controlling population peaks on the edges of the gypsy moth range may help to slow their invasion into virgin territory, according to a team of researchers. view more (2006-11-16)
Honey bee chemoreceptors found for smell and taste
Honey bees have a much better sense of smell than fruit flies or mosquitoes, but a much worse sense of taste, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. view more (2006-10-26)
Pheromone from mother's milk may rapidly promote learning in newborn mammals
By studying the ability of newborn rabbit pups to learn the significance of new odors, researchers have found that a mammary pheromone secreted in mother's milk may act as a chemical booster that facilitates the ability of pups to quickly associate environmental odors with the opportunity to nurse. view more (2006-10-10)
New study examines how sense of smell affects mating and aggression in mice
New research by scientists at UCSF sheds light on how the odor detecting system in mice sends signals that affect their social behavior. view more (2005-12-22)
