MHC-associated and MHC-independent urinary chemosignals in mice.
TL;DR: Results show that a small number of specific compounds as well as a profile of some few ubiquitous volatiles constitute MHC-associated odor cues and that influences of the MHC and genes in the genetic background interact in constituting urine odor specificity in mice.

TL;DR: In autumn 1991, aphid parasitoids of the genus Praon were caught in water traps with lures containing synthetic aphid sex pheromone components at three sites in England and one in Germany, and there was no evidence that any other genus of parasitoid responded to aphid Sex Pheromones at these sites.

Responses of the parasitoid Praon volucre (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to aphid sex pheromone lures in cereal fields in autumn: Implications for parasitoid manipulation

TL;DR: Females of the aphid parasitoid Praon volucre were attracted to lures containing synthetic aphid sex pheromone components, particularly (+)-(4aS,7S, 7aR)-nepetalactone, when these were placed on water traps in cereal fields in autumn.

Competition for hosts between two hyperparasitoids of aphids, Dendrocerus laticeps and Dendrocerus carpenteri (Hymenoptera: Megaspilidae): The benefit of interspecific host discrimination
Dagmar Scholz,Carsten Höller +1 more
TL;DR: The two hyperparasitoids of aphids, Dendrocerus carpenteri(Curtis) and DendROcerus laticeps(Hedicke), differ in their interspecific host discrimination behavior: D. carpenterireadily accepts hosts for oviposition previously parasitized by D. laticeps,whereas D.laticepsoften refrains from ovipositing on hosts previously parasitiz by D .

Patch marking in the aphid hyperparasitoid, Dendrocerus carpenteri: the information contained in patch marks.
Carsten Höller,Regina Hörmann +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that at least D. carpenteri females with a low egg load continuously apply a marking pheromone that seems to contain information on the identity of the producer, which seems to be applied depending on whether or not hosts are present in the area.
