In the moth, Agrotis ipsilon, newly mated males cease to be attracted to the female-produced sex pheromone, preventing them from re-mating until the next night, by which time they would have refilled their reproductive glands for a potential new ejaculate.
Romina B Barrozo et al.
The European journal of neuroscience, 33(10), 1841-1850 (2011-04-15)
Innate behaviours in animals can be influenced by several factors, such as the environment, experience, or physiological status. This behavioural plasticity originates from changes in the underlying neuronal substrate. A well-described form of plasticity is induced by mating. In both
Nina Deisig et al.
PloS one, 7(3), e33159-e33159 (2012-03-20)
Most animals rely on olfaction to find sexual partners, food or a habitat. The olfactory system faces the challenge of extracting meaningful information from a noisy odorous environment. In most moth species, males respond to sex pheromone emitted by females
Ning Li et al.
Analytical biochemistry, 342(2), 318-326 (2005-05-26)
In this work, we developed a new approach to the analysis of the lung cancer biomarkers, hexanal and heptanal in human blood that was based on headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) with droplet derivatization, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Aldehydes
Rossella Guadagni et al.
Analytica chimica acta, 701(1), 29-36 (2011-07-19)
Hexanal and heptanal are endogenous aldehydes coming from membrane lipid oxidation, found in lung cancer patients' blood, and suggested as lung tumor biomarkers. Here the urinary matrix was investigated instead of blood and the difficulties related to the determination of
