11. Ethological control of the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wied.)
Sammanfattning : The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a serious threat for the Bolivian fruit sector. Despite its importance, few efforts have focussed on the development of alternative techniques to broad spectrum pesticides, especially those that suppress the pest using odour-mediated behavior manipulation.

12. Neuroethology of olfaction in Drosophila : evolution and specialization
Sammanfattning : In insects olfaction is a primary sensory modality. As a result changes in the animal’s ecology are often paralleled by modifications in the olfactory system. Using a comparative approach between the generalist Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling specialist D. sechellia, I looked at the coding properties of the olfactory system. LÄS MER
13. The sensory morphology of insect pollinators : From structure to behaviour and ecology
Sammanfattning : Insect pollinators play an important role in balancing our ecosystems and maintaining plant and food diversity. Due to anthropogenic activities such as global warming, habitat loss and degradation, pesticides, and pathogens, many pollinator populations have been undergoing drastic declines in recent decades.

14. Mechanistic aspects of host plant preference in butterflies
Sammanfattning : Searching and locating resources is essential for survival. In herbivorous insects search behavior is conducted on several scales, requiring input and integration of information from different sensory modalities. LÄS MER
15. Identification and Syntheses of Semiochemicals Affecting Mnesampela privata and Trioza apicalis
Sammanfattning : The Autumn gum moth, Mnesampela privata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) is an endemic Australian moth whose larvae feed upon species of Eucalyptus. The moths favorite host plants are E. globulus and E. nitens which are the most important species used in commercial plantations of the Australian pulpwood industry. LÄS MER
