Scent glands of true bugs (Heteroptera) and their pattern in micropterous bed bug Cimex lectularius (Cimicidae)
Wiesnerová, Markéta ; Vilímová, Jitka (advisor) ; Kment, Petr (referee)
Chemical communication is considered to be very common type of communication within the insects. Taxon true bugs, the suborder Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) is well known concerning this type of communication. It is based on a secretion of glands from which the most important are dorsoabdominal scent glands (DAGs) of nymphs and metathoracic scent glands (MTGs) of adults. The present study includes a summary of the knowledge about heteropteran scent glands, including the glands in micropterous bed bug, Cimex lectularius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Cimicidae). Also information about chemical composition and function of the secretion is included. Key words: Heteroptera, DAGs, MTGs, scent glands, bed bug Cimex lectularius, composition of secretion
