A mosaic of endogenous and plant-derived courtship signals in moths
CURRENT BIOLOGY, 33(16).
TL;DR:
It is shown that two olfactory receptors in female antennae are tuned to MeSA, which facilitates female acceptance of the male, and males appear to exploit the female's preadapted sensory bias in courtship.

Ed(s): A. Appel
author keywords: secondary mortality; tertiary mortality; quaternary mortality; horizontal transfer; gel bait
MeSH headings : Female; Animals; Insecticides; Cockroaches; Blattellidae; Nymph; Insect Control
TL;DR:
Whether horizontal transfer can go beyond secondary, to tertiary and quaternary effects, and to compare various gel baits with different active ingredients remains to be determined in field populations of the German cockroach.

Gustatory polymorphism mediates a new adaptive courtship strategy
author keywords: German cockroach; gustation; aversion; courtship; evolution; nuptial gift
MeSH headings : Animals; Humans; Female; Male; Sexual Behavior, Animal / physiology; Courtship; Maltose; Copulation; Glucose
TL;DR:
Results suggest that the two courtship traits emerged in response to the altered sexual behaviour of GA females and independently of the male's GA trait, and compensatory behavioural evolution can correct these sensory discrepancies.

Oviposition stimulants underlying different preferences between host races in the leaf-mining moth Acrocercops transecta (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 12(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Ericaceae; Female; Juglandaceae; Juglans; Moths; Oviposition; Plant Leaves
TL;DR:
It is suggested that Lyonia race females do not lay eggs on Juglans leaves because the leaves do not contain specific oviposition stimulant(s), and the activity of the ovipposition stimulants overcomes Oviposition deterrents contained in JugLans leaves.

Ed(s): A. Appel
author keywords: German cockroach; nutrition; urban; ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Blattellidae; Diet; Female; Laboratories; Male; Nymph
TL;DR:
Findings suggest that females, males, and nymphs within apartments adapt to the local conditions and convergently prefer similar amounts of food of similar dietary protein content, suggesting that factors beyond temporary food scarcity influence diet choice.

Salivary Digestion Extends the Range of Sugar-Aversions in the German Cockroach
INSECTS, 12(3).
Contributors: n & C. Schal n
author keywords: taste; sugar-aversion; German cockroach; glucose; saliva; salivary digestion; feeding behavior; bait; pest control
TL;DR:
Salivary digestion protects the cockroach from ingesting toxic chemicals and thus could support the rapid evolution of behavioral and physiological resistance in cockroach populations, and is suggested to support an extended aversion phenotype that includes glucose-containing oligosaccharides.

Hemimetabolous insects elucidate the origin of sexual development via alternative splicing

Contributors: J. Wexler *, E. Delaney *, X. Belles *, C. Schal n, n , M. Amicucci *, A. Kopp *
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the distinctive insect mechanism based on the tra-dsx splicing cascade evolved in a gradual, mosaic process: sex-specific splicing of dsx predates its role in female sexual differentiation, while the role of tra in regulating dsX splicing and in sexual development more generally predates sex- specific expression of the Tra protein.

Taste-enhancing effects of glycine on the sweetness of glucose: A gustatory aspects of symbiosis between the ant, Camponotus japonicus, and the larvae of the lycaenid butterfly, Niphanda fusca
Chemical Senses, 26(8), 983–992.
Contributors: A. Wada, Y. Isobe, S. Yamaguchi, R. Yamaoka & M. Ozaki
MeSH headings : Amino Acids / chemistry; Animals; Ants; Butterflies; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Electrophysiology; Glucose / pharmacology; Glycine / pharmacology; Kinetics; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Symbiosis; Taste / drug effects
TL;DR:
The taste enhancement created by the combination of sugar and amino acid may play a role in the evolution of the parasitic relationships of these insects and appears to be analogous to taste enhancement by 'umami' substances in humans.
