Phenotypic Plasticity of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profiles in Insects.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Mar 2018

Otte Tobias, Hilker Monika, Geiselhardt Sven

Abstract excerpt

The insect integument is covered by cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) which provide protection against environmental stresses, but are also used for communication. Here we review current knowledge on environmental and insect-internal factors which shape phenotypic plasticity of solitary living insects, especially herbivorous ones. We address the dynamics of changes which may occur within minutes, but may also last...
