Swarming and pairing behaviors are significant to population dispersal of termites.Tandem running is a key process in pairing behavior of dealates to find a mate.Succinylation can lead to significant changes in protei...
We are grateful to the German Research Foundation(DFG)for funding this research as part of the CRC TRR 212(NC3)-Project number 316099922。
Agricultural pests can develop behavioral resistance to insecticides by choosing to feed or oviposit on insecticide-free hosts.As young larvae have relatively low mobility,oviposition preferences from female adults ma...
