Finally, A. serpentina male feces extracts elicited electrophysiological response in females of A. serpentina or A. striata.

Here, we tested whether the morphological and acoustical resemblance of the hornet clearwing Sesia apiformis to the hornet Vespa crabro also extends to chemical traits by comparing their cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles. Compositional and quantitative analyses revealed no evidence of chemical mimicry between S. apiformis and V. crabro; instead, the moth exhibited an approximately sixfold reduction in total CHC abundance in comparison to the hornet and a complete absence of alkenes, compounds known to function as key recognition cues in insect predator-prey interactions. These results suggest that S. apiformis does not converge on the chemical profile of its model and are consistent with the possibility that its reduced CHC profile contributes to lowered detectability by predators. However, the ecological significance of our findings remains to be tested through behavioural assays with potential predators. We discuss the likely predator guild of S. apiformis and the selective pressures these predators may exert on chemical detectability. Comparative analyses across closely related lepidopteran families (Cossidae, Zygaenidae, Heterogynidae, and Castniidae) revealed CHC profiles that differed markedly in both composition and abundance from that of S. apiformis. Together, these findings indicate that the reduced and simplified CHC profile in S. apiformis is unusual among related taxa and may represent a mechanism contributing to reduced predator recognition, highlighting the potential importance of signal suppression, alongside signal elaboration in predator-prey communication.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":"52 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13578110/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148976985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using LC/MS and UV analyses, we quantified nuchal gland accumulation, excretion and chemical modification. Bufalin was extensively converted into multiple derivatives and accumulated efficiently in the nuchal glands. Digitoxigenin showed limited modification and high excretion, with lower mean accumulation than bufalin but no significant difference, whereas ouabain showed limited modification, high excretion and significantly lower accumulation than bufalin. Ouabain, the most polar compound, showed the lowest accumulation; however, the contrasting handling of bufalin and digitoxigenin-two structurally similar aglycones that differ in lactone-ring type-indicates that polarity alone cannot explain sequestration selectivity. Instead, coordinated differences in metabolism, accumulation and excretion reveal fine-scale discrimination among cardiotonic steroids.

We addressed this question in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus by combining oviposition behavior trials with electrophysiological recordings from taste sensilla on the female forelegs. Females primed with a Citrus (host plant) extract laid eggs on a plain water control 51.5% of the time, providing an operational post-priming baseline for oviposition. Against this baseline, egg-laying was completely suppressed by extracts of all five non-host species tested from families other than the host family Rutaceae. This supports the interpretation that non-host extracts contain stimulus properties associated with reduced oviposition, rather than simply lacking a stimulatory cue. Because a single recording can contain spikes from several spike-generating cells activated at once, we grouped spikes by six waveform features-amplitude plus five measures of spike shape and timing-rather than amplitude alone, resolving five reproducible spike types (Types 0-4). Type 0 fired consistently more in response to non-host extracts, with this association remaining statistically significant in the female-ID clustered GEE sensitivity analysis; Type 4 fired more in response to host extracts, though this association did not remain significant in the same analysis. Orixa japonica, a non-host species that nonetheless belongs to the host family Rutaceae, elicited a Type 4 firing rate lower than that of host Rutaceae together with elevated Type 0 firing; egg-laying was markedly reduced even though butterflies frequently began, without completing, the egg-laying sequence.

Males and females were captured in similar proportions.

Although the release rate of dispensers and its change over time are usually well assessed, the airborne pheromone concentrations generated in a treated area are generally unknown. This hinders the development and optimisation of the treatment by MD. The present work reports the results of a field campaign of measurements carried out with the aim of quantifying airborne concentrations of dodecyl acetate released by passive dispensers distributed over a covered crop area. Dodecyl acetate is used as a model pheromone due to its low reactivity in the air allowing the release and dispersion processes to be characterized. The relationship between emissions and ambient air concentrations was investigated using both an empirical approach and an atmospheric dispersion model. Ambient air concentrations in the crop area were predicted by combining a previously developed emission model with temperature and wind speed data. The measured airborne concentrations ranged from 16 to 113 ng m<sup>-3</sup> depending on the location of sampling and the release rate of dispensers at the time of sampling. The treatment-level concentrations persisted all along the sampling period for at least 44 days, while temporal changes in airborne concentration were mainly driven by the release rate of dispensers and its dependence on temperature.</p>","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":"52 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148850557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
