The paper shows a fungus uses volatile chemicals to trick male flies into mating with infected female cadavers, enhancing fungal dispersal.

The paper identifies OR10A6 as a human olfactory receptor specifically tuned to the pheromone Z4-11Al from Drosophila melanogaster, revealing its role in human-fly chemical communication.

This study shows Drosophila suzukii avoids oviposition on substrates previously visited by D. melanogaster, but this behavior is influenced by the presence of Lactobacillus bacteria in either species.

This study identifies 3-octanone, a volatile from Streptomyces coelicolor, as a growth stimulant for Arabidopsis thaliana that acts via the KISS ME DEADLY gene family to alter auxin/cytokinin homeostasis.

The paper identifies Z4-11Al as a volatile pheromone in Drosophila melanogaster and shows its detectability in wine, linking it to fly presence and spoilage.
