2007 journal article

Genome-wide analysis reveals differences in brain gene expression patterns associated with caste and reproductive status in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

MOLECULAR ECOLOGY, 16(22), 4837–4848.

By: C. Grozinger n, Y. Fan n, S. Hoover * & M. Winston*

author keywords: caste; eusociality; genomics; longevity; microarrays; reproduction
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / genetics; Bees / physiology; Brain / metabolism; Female; Gene Expression; Gene Expression Profiling; Male; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Pheromones / genetics; Pheromones / metabolism; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Social Dominance; Vitellogenins / genetics; Vitellogenins / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: Identifying the genes that underlie the differences between queens, sterile workers, and reproductive workers will allow us to begin to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of social behaviour and large‐scale remodelling of gene networks associated with polyphenisms.

2005 journal article

Cuticular hydrocarbon synthesis and its maternal provisioning to embryos in the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata

JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 51(7), 803–809.

By: E. Youngsteadt n , Y. Fan n, B. Stay* & C. Schal n 

Contributors: E. Youngsteadt n , Y. Fan n, B. Stay* & C. Schal n 

author keywords: Diploptera punctata; hydrocarbons; viviparity; maternal investment; feeding
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; Cockroaches / embryology; Cockroaches / metabolism; Embryo, Nonmammalian / metabolism; Female; Flame Ionization; Hydrocarbons / metabolism; Integumentary System / physiology; Reproduction / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect and Pesticide Research
TL;DR: Embryos of the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata accumulate large amounts of hydrocarbon (HC) of either maternal or embryonic origin, and female abdominal integument was the only tissue that synthesized appreciable amounts of HC in vitro, and did so at an increasing rate from the time of mating to mid-pregnancy, when rates of synthesis declined.

2005 journal article

Effect of PBAN on pheromone production by mated Heliothis virescens and Heliothis subflexa females

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, 31(1), 14–28.

By: A. Groot*, Y. Fan*, C. Brownie n, R. Jurenka *, F. Gould*  & C. Schal* 

author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; sex pheromone; PBAN; temporal variation
MeSH headings : Animals; Exocrine Glands / metabolism; Female; Moths / physiology; Neuropeptides / administration & dosage; Oviposition; Pheromones / biosynthesis; Seasons; Sex Attractants / biosynthesis
topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Insect Pheromone Research and Control
TL;DR: Because the temporal variation in pheromone blend composition was greater for virgin females than for PBAN-injected females, PBAN can be used to determine a female’s native pherOMone phenotype. (via Semantic Scholar)
