In these environments, animals are exposed to low temperature and face the risk of desiccation. The Eastern Himalayas are one of the recognized biodiversity hotspots worldwide. The area covers subtropical rainforest with warm temperature and high precipitation as well as high mountain ranges with peaks reaching up to 7,000 m, shaping a diverse floral and faunal community at the different elevational zones. To identify possible adaptation strategies, we investigated the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of four bumble bee species occurring at different elevational ranges in Arunachal Pradesh, the northeastern most state in India. At 17 locations along an elevational gradient, we collected workers of two species from lower elevations (B. albopleuralis and B. breviceps; ~ 100 m - 3,000 m asl) and two species from higher elevations (B. prshewalskyi and B. mirus; ~ 2,800 m - 4,500 m asl). The CHC profiles of all four species showed a significant degree of variation in the composition of hydrocarbons, indicating species specificity. We also found clear correlation with elevation. The weighted mean chain length of the hydrocarbons significantly differed between the low and high elevation species, and the proportion of saturated hydrocarbons in CHC profiles significantly increased with the elevational range of the bumble bee species. Our results indicate that bumble bees living at high elevations reduce the risk of water loss by adapting their CHC composition on their cuticle, a phenomenon that has also been found in other insects like ants and fruit flies.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"969-977"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11717848/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140110378","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}

When these organisms become invasive species, the harm often turns to a serious threat that disrupts native ecosystems. On the other hand, there are consumers that can exploit toxic organisms for food and sequester intact toxins from them for the consumers' own chemical defense. Therefore, it can be expected that toxic invasive prey can become a toxin source for native consumers. Here, we focused on the relationship between toads, which are one of the major toxic invasive organisms and possess bufadienolides (BDs), and Rhabdophis snakes, which sequester BDs from toads. On Sado Island, Japan, R. tigrinus is native, but no toads had inhabited this island until Bufo japonicus formosus was introduced as a domestic invasive species in 1963 and 1964. At present, invasive toads are distributed only in the southwestern part of the island. We collected a total of 25 and 24 R. tigrinus from areas allopatric and sympatric with toads, respectively. Then, we investigated the possession of BDs and the BD profile of these snakes. We found that only R. tigrinus sympatric with toads possessed BDs, whereas all snakes allopatric with toads lacked BDs. Based on the characteristics of the BD profile, the toxin source was identified as B. j. formosus. Our findings show that a new case of impact caused by toxic invasive species, i.e., \"toxin supply to native consumers from invasive prey\", could occur.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"1077-1085"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50161725","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}

Grasses and Epichloë endophytes often form defensive mutualistic symbioses. Most Epichloë species produce alkaloids to protect hosts from herbivores, but there is no strong evidence that endophytes can affect the insect resistance of their hosts by altering VOC emissions. In this study, a native dominant grass, sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis), and its herbivore, oriental migratory locust (Locusta migratoria), were used as experimental materials. We studied the effect of endophyte-associated VOC emissions on the insect resistance of L. chinensis. The results showed that endophyte infection enhanced insect resistance of the host, and locusts preferred the odor of endophyte-free (EF) leaves to that of endophyte-infected (EI) leaves. We determined the VOC profile of L. chinensis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and found that endophyte infection decreased the pentadecane (an alkane) emission from uneaten plants, and increased the nonanal (an aldehyde) emission from eaten plants. The olfactory response experiment showed that locusts were attracted by high concentration of pentadecane, while repelled by high concentration of nonanal, indicating that Epichloë endophytes may increase locust resistance of L. chinensis by decreasing pentadecane while increasing nonanal emission. Our results suggest that endophytes can induce VOC-mediated defense in hosts in addition to producing alkaloids, contributing to a better understanding the endophyte-plant-herbivore interactions.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"1067-1076"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71424018","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}

Despite its formidable chemical defenses, C. camphora is easily attacked and invaded by a monophagous weevil pest, Pagiophloeus tsushimanus. Deciphering the key olfactory signal components regulating host preference could facilitate monitoring and control strategies for this pest. Herein, two host volatiles, camphor and ocimene, induced GC-EAD/EAG reactions in both male and female adult antennae. Correspondingly, Y-tube olfactometer assays showed that the two compounds were attractive to both male and female adults. In field assays, a self-made trap device baited with 5 mg dose d(+)-camphor captured significantly more P. tsushimanus adults than isopropanol solvent controls without sexual bias. The trunk gluing trap device baited with bait can capture adults, but the number was significantly less than that of the self-made trap device and adults often fell after struggling. The cross baffle trap device never trapped adults. Neither ocimene nor isopropanol solvent control captured adults. When used in combination, ocimene did not enhance the attraction of d(+)-camphor to both female and male adults. These results indicate that d(+)-camphor is a key active compound of P. tsushimanus adults for host location. The combination of the host-volatile lure based on d(+)-camphor and the self-made trapping device is promising to monitor and provide an eco-friendly control strategy for this novel pest P. tsushimanus in C. camphora plantations.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"1023-1035"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142017666","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}

Alate females and males fly out of their nests to mate simultaneously. In the genus Camponotus, sex-specific chemicals are deposited in the male head; however, their roles in nuptial flight have not yet been clarified. This study aimed to elucidate the functions of male-specific chemicals in the Japanese carpenter ant Camponotus japonicus. First, we identified three chemicals characteristic to the male - methyl salicylate (MS), methyl 6-methylsalicylate (MMS), and methyl anthranilate (MA) - all of which triggered electroantennogram (EAG) responses in both alate males and females. As the relative content of MS was insufficient for GC comparison, we investigated the quantitative changes of MMS and MA in the male head capsules before and after flight under laboratory conditions. The amounts of both compounds were significantly reduced after flight, which suggested that males secrete them during flight. Thereafter, a field trap experiment was conducted in three fields of the Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, during the nuptial flight season in 2021 using MMS and MA as baits. The number of captured alate males was significantly higher than that of the females, suggesting that these compounds primarily attracted males rather than females. Considering the field conditions, if the local concentration of these chemicals is increased by male aggregation, females may be attracted as they also showed EAG responses. Our findings represent a first step toward understanding chemically mediated male lek formation during the process of male aggregation syndrome in this species.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"884-893"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288132","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}

The former species has a broader host range and wider world distribution than the latter. With global climate change, Z. tau shows great potential for geographical expansion with several invasion records in recent years. Males of both species are attracted to cue lure (CL) (and raspberry ketone (RK), a deacetyl derivative of CL), a common male lure used in fruit fly population detection, monitoring and control programs. Males of both species are also known to respond to zingerone (ZN), which are produced by some rainforest orchids. Previous studies have shown that fruit fly-male lure interactions are unique to species and lure types, and significantly impact the success of a lure-based fruit fly control program. We seek to compare the attraction of Z. cucurbitae and Z. tau males to CL, RK and ZN via Probit behavioral assays. Our results showed that CL is more attractive to Z. cucurbitae and Z. tau males than RK, while ZN is a poor lure for both species. Attraction Z. tau to CL is slightly lower than Z. cucurbitae, but the former is at least 1.71 times less attractive to RK than the latter.

This review aims to provide a concise overview of the chemical composition, storage, transport, and physical properties of different CHCs in B. germanica. Additionally, we focus on the biosynthetic pathway and the genetic regulation of HC biosynthesis in this species. A considerable amount of biochemical evidence regarding the biosynthetic pathway of insect CHCs has been gathered from studies conducted in B. germanica. In recent years, there has also been an improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie CHC production in this insect. In this article, we summarize the biosynthesis of different classes of CHCs in B. germanica. Then, we review CHCs reaction to various environmental conditions and stressors and internal physiological states. Additionally, we review a body of work showing that in B. germanica, CHC profiles exhibit significant sexual dimorphism, specific CHCs act as essential precursors for female contact sex pheromone components, and we summarize the molecular regulatory mechanisms that underlie sexual dimorphism of CHC profiles. Finally, we highlight future directions and challenges in research on the biosynthesis and regulatory mechanisms of CHCs in B. germanica, and also identify potential applications of CHC studies in the pest control.","PeriodicalId":15346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Ecology","volume":" ","pages":"955-968"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140898406","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}
