Metabolomics, together with analytical methods and chemometric tools, point to new paths for selecting species that are resistant pests diseases. In this work, the forage palm species’ metabolomic profile was investigated, relation between chemical composition resistance Dactylopius opuntiae (carmine cochineal). The study performed in cladodes of different non-susceptible cultivars (Nopalea coc...

In the wild, larvae of several species of Drosophila develop in heterogeneous and rapidly changing environments sharing resources as food and space. In this scenario, sensory systems contribute to detect, localize and recognize congeners and heterospecifics, and provide information about the availability of food and chemical features of environments where animals live. We investigated the behav...
