Highlights•The sensitivity of peripheral olfactory system and central olfactory neurons to
various olfactory signals is often altered in response to different physiological (age and …

The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a notorious pest of fruit crops. Gravid
females locate suitable oviposition sites by detecting host plant volatiles. Here, we …

Simple Summary Chemical information, among various environmental cues, is the most
important factor for insect survival and reproduction. Insects usually rely on pheromone …

Background Insects rely on chemosensory perception, mainly olfaction, for the location of
mates, food sources, and oviposition sites. Plant-released volatile compounds guide …

Finding a suitable oviposition site is a challenging task for a gravid female fly, because the
hatched maggots have limited mobility, making it difficult to find an alternative host. The …

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a notorious pest of fruit crops, causing
severe damage to fleshy fruits during oviposition and larval feeding. Gravid females locate …

The evolution of feeding habits leads to speciation in insects. Bactrocera true fruit flies
display diverse feeding habits across species. We combine behavioral and functional …

Olfaction plays indispensable roles in insect behavior such as host location, foraging,
oviposition, and avoiding predators. Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) can discriminate the …

Olfaction plays an essential role in insect behavior such as host location, foraging, mating,
and oviposition. The odorant receptor co‐receptor (Orco) is an obligatory odorant receptor …

Abstract Attractive Toxic Sugar Baits (ATSB) are used in a “lure-and-kill” approach for
management of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, but the active chemicals were …
