Chemical convergence between a guild of facultative myrmecophilous caterpillars and host plants

Luan Dias Lima et al.

Summary: Research showed strong convergence between caterpillars' cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) and plants, especially for commensal species that do not provide secretion rewards for ants. Surprisingly, there was also chemical convergence among mutualistic caterpillar species that offer caloric reward secretions to ants. This 'chemical camouflage' may serve as a defensive strategy allowing coexistence with ants on plants.

Chemical Ecology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology of Insect Hydrocarbons

Gary J. Blomquist et al.

Summary: Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have evolved to serve both waterproofing and signaling functions, playing critical roles in chemical communication and life histories. The profiles of CHCs are influenced by diet and environment, and recent advances in understanding hydrocarbon biosynthesis have utilized molecular biology tools such as genomics and RNA interference.

Advances in deciphering the genetic basis of insect cuticular hydrocarbon biosynthesis and variation

Henrietta Holze et al.

Summary: Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in insects play crucial roles in desiccation protection and chemical communication systems, contributing to their evolutionary success. Research on CHCs has been predominantly focused on model organisms like Drosophila, limiting the comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis across wider phylogenetic boundaries. Recent studies are starting to explore more insect taxa, aiming to uncover the genetic mechanisms behind the diverse CHC compounds and their impact on insect behavior, physiology, and evolution.
