DIFFERENCES IN THE RELIANCE ON CUTICULAR HYDROCARBONS AS SEXUAL SIGNALING AND SPECIES DISCRIMINATION CUES IN PARASITOID WASPS

Differences in the reliance on cuticular hydrocarbons as sexual signaling and species discrimination cues in parasitoid wasps

Abstract Background Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) have been documented to play crucial roles as species- and sex-specific cues in the chemical communication systems of a wide variety of insects.However, whether they are sufficient by themselves as the sole cue triggering sexual behavior as well as preference of con- over heterospecific mating partne
