Grooming is a well-recognized, multipurpose, behavior in arthropods and vertebrates. In this
paper, we review the literature to highlight the physical function, neurophysiological …

The insect equivalent of taste buds are gustatory sensilla, which have been found on
mouthparts, pharynxes, antennae, legs, wings, and ovipositors. Most gustatory sensilla are …

Relatively little is still known about the sense of taste, or contact chemoreception, compared
with other sensory modalities, despite its importance to many aspects of animal behaviour …

The first part of this review includes a short description of the cellular and morphological
organization of the olfactory pathway of decapod crustaceans, followed by an overview of …

The antennae of most insects move actively and detect the physical and chemical
composition of objects encountered by using their associated tactile sensors. Positional …

Mature gregarious male desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria, emit the courtship inhibition
pheromone phenylacetonitrile. Wings and legs, in particular the fore wings, have been …

Although the forelegs of honeybees are one of their main gustatory appendages, tarsal
gustation in bees has never been systematically studied. To provide a more extensive …

The antennules of decapod crustaceans are covered with thousands of chemosensilla that
mediate odor discrimination and orientation behaviors. Most studies on chemoreception in …

The anatomy and physiology of exteroceptors on the surfaces of the wings have been
described in many insects, but their roles in behaviour have been less well studied. They …

BACKGROUND The use of insecticidal solutions containing sodium chloride (NaCl) has
been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to managing stink bug …
