Olfactory sensing and navigation in turbulent environments
Fluid turbulence is a double-edged sword for the navigation of macroscopic animals, such
as birds, insects, and rodents. On the one hand, turbulence enables pheromone …

Access to the odor world: olfactory receptors and their role for signal transduction in insects
J Fleischer, P Pregitzer, H Breer, J Krieger - Cellular and Molecular Life …, 2018 - Springer
The sense of smell enables insects to recognize and discriminate a broad range of volatile
chemicals in their environment originating from prey, host plants and conspecifics. These …
