Mapping planktonic communities: a network approach to assess the role of scale and centrality on their diversity and composition

This study examines how scale and centrality in lake networks affect planktonic community diversity and composition, finding varied responses across different planktonic groups.

Host plant odour and sex pheromone are integral to mate finding in codling moth

The paper shows that codling moth males are attracted to female sex pheromones only when host plant odors are present, highlighting the integral role of plant odors in mate finding.

The female pheromone (Z)-4-undecenal mediates flight attraction and courtship in Drosophila melanogaster

This study identifies (Z)-4-undecenal as a female pheromone in Drosophila melanogaster that mediates flight attraction and courtship in both sexes, interacting with food odors in a sex-specific manner.

The human odorant receptor OR10A6 is tuned to the pheromone of the commensal fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies OR10A6 as a human olfactory receptor specifically tuned to the pheromone Z4-11Al from Drosophila melanogaster, revealing its role in human-fly chemical communication.

Yeast volatomes differentially effect larval feeding in an insect herbivore

This study identifies yeast volatomes that differentially affect larval feeding in Spodoptera littoralis, revealing species-specific volatile blends linked to insect behavior and ecological interactions.

Plant odour and sex pheromone are integral elements of specific mate recognition in an insect herbivore

The paper shows that male Spodoptera littoralis integrate plant odors and female sex pheromones for mate recognition, enhancing discrimination of pheromone quality in the presence of host plant volatiles.

The scent of the fly

The paper identifies Z4-11Al as a volatile pheromone in Drosophila melanogaster and shows its detectability in wine, linking it to fly presence and spoilage.

Inter- and intra-domain functional redundancy in the rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation

The paper examines functional redundancy in the cow rumen microbiome during plant biomass degradation, finding that methyl-reducing methanogens are strongly correlated with methane emissions.

The Drosophila pheromone Z4-11Al is encoded together with habitat olfactory cues and mediates species-specific communication
