Alcohol Contributes to Attraction of Heliothis (= Chloridea) virescens Males to Females

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 44(7-8), 621–630.

By: A. Groot*, S. Nojima n, J. Heath n, B. Ammagarahalli*, M. van Wijk*, A. Claβen*, R. Santangelo n, J. Lopez*, C. Schal n

author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Chloridea virescens; Sex pheromone; Volatile collection; (Z)-11-Hexadecen-1-ol; Rubber septa; Behavior
MeSH headings : Animal Communication; Animals; Fatty Alcohols / analysis; Fatty Alcohols / metabolism; Female; Male; Moths / chemistry; Moths / physiology; Sex Attractants / analysis; Sex Attractants / metabolism; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Volatile Organic Compounds / analysis; Volatile Organic Compounds / metabolism
TL;DR: Using a short section of thick film megabore column, in combination with derivatization and GC-CI-SIM-MS, it is determined that Z11–16:OH is emitted from the sex pheromone gland during calling, and should be considered a component of thesex phersomone of H. virescens females.

Identification of a queen and king recognition pheromone in the subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(15), 3888–3893.

By: C. Funaro n, K. Böröczky*, E. Vargo* & C. Schal n

author keywords: termite; royal pheromone; queen recognition; chemical ecology; cuticular hydrocarbons
MeSH headings : Alkanes / chemistry; Alkanes / metabolism; Animals; Behavior, Animal; Biological Evolution; Female; Hydrocarbons / chemistry; Hydrocarbons / metabolism; Isoptera / chemistry; Isoptera / genetics; Isoptera / physiology; Male; Pheromones / chemistry; Pheromones / metabolism; Social Dominance
TL;DR: Hneicosane is a royal-recognition pheromone that is active in both queens and kings of R. flavipes and is therefore infer that termites and social Hymenoptera convergently evolved the use of these ubiquitous compounds in royal recognition. (via Semantic Scholar)

Growth kinetics of endosymbiont Wolbachia in the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius

Scientific Reports, 8(1).

MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / microbiology; DNA / genetics; Female; Kinetics; Larva / microbiology; Symbiosis; Wolbachia / growth & development
TL;DR: It is highlighted that wCle is dynamic during bed bug development, changing relative to life stage, intermolt stage, and blood-fed status, and the observed quantitative modulation of wCle during the bed bug life cycle and during periods of starvation may explain the disparities in wCle infections reported in field-collected C. lectularius.

Impact of β-Glucuronidase Mediated Hydrolysis on Haldol® Urinalysis

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 42(4), 214–219.

By: O. Cummings, E. Strickland, J. Enders* & G. McIntire

Contributors: O. Cummings, E. Strickland, J. Enders* & G. McIntire

MeSH headings : Chromatography, Liquid; Glucuronidase / metabolism; Haloperidol / urine; Humans; Hydrolysis; Tandem Mass Spectrometry; Urinalysis / methods
TL;DR: This work shows that high levels of the glucuronidated form of haloperidol are present in patient urine samples, and demonstrates that hydrolysis greatly improves the sensitivity and consistency of results for patients on haloperIDol therapy resulting in positivity data that strongly correlates with the dosage form administered.
