Chemically-Mediated Mate Location and Recognition in Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
… to the best nutrition, selecting for rapid host location and mate recognition strategies by the adults. In this study, I test the hypothesis that adult longhorned beetles are attracted to volatile compounds emanating from larval host plants. Once on the larval host, the mating strategy is …

Evolution and Taxonomic Distribution of Volatile Pheromones in Cerambycine Longhorned Beetles
… aggregation pheromones play an important role in mate location in many groups of insects. The lack of variation in these pheromone communication systems among the best studied groups has hindered understanding of the evolution of volatile pheromone use in insects. The diverse beetle family …

Biology and impact of the New Zealand pea crab (Nepinnotheres novaezelandiae) in aquacultured greenlipped mussels (Perna canaliculus)
… biology, abundance, distribution, impact, and mate location behaviour of Nepinnotheres novaezelandiae within aquaculture of its preferred host the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). Systematic sampling of a typical green-lipped mussel farm revealed an overall farm-wide …

Use of sensory information by cerambycids and their natural enemies to locate resources and mates
… and their natural enemies use to locate mates and resources. Many species of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) prefer to feed in trees that are stressed, weakened, or in the process of dying. These resources are ephemeral, disappearing rapidly as they are colonized by …
