Temperature imposes significant constraints on ectothermic animals, and these organisms
have evolved numerous adaptations to respond to these constraints. While the impacts of …

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 …

Animals have evolved to rapidly detect and recognize brief and intermittent encounters with
odor packages, exhibiting recognition capabilities within milliseconds. Artificial olfaction has …

Mosquito-borne diseases affect hundreds of millions of people annually and
disproportionately impact the develo** world,. One mosquito species, Aedes aegypti, is a …

Mosquitoes track odors, locate hosts, and find mates visually. The color of a food resource,
such as a flower or warm-blooded host, can be dominated by long wavelengths of the visible …

Anthropophilic female mosquitoes are well known for their strong attraction to human hosts,
but plant nectar is a common energy source in their diets. When sugar sources are scarce …

Accurate and prompt localization of hazardous release sources ensures a timely emergency
response to potential damages. Robot odor source localization is the study of locating the …

Background A complete genome sequence and the advent of genome editing open up non-
traditional model organisms to mechanistic genetic studies. The mosquito Aedes aegypti is …

Localizing the sources of stimuli is essential. Most organisms cannot eat, mate, or escape
without knowing where the relevant stimuli originate. For many, if not most, animals, olfaction …

Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for
reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less …
