Laser surgery reveals the biomechanical and chemical signaling functions of aphid siphunculi (cornicles)

Aphids are an attractive food source to many predators and parasitoids because of their small size, soft bodies and slow movement. To combat predation, aphids evolved both behavioral and chemical defensive mechanisms that are operated via siphunculi (cornicles), differently developed structures that...
