The olfactory system is an ideal and tractable system for exploring how the brain transforms
sensory inputs into behaviour. The basic tasks of any olfactory system include odour …

The olfactory system can detect and recognize tens of thousands of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations in complex environments. Bioelectronic nose (B …

The cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is considered as a species complex with 46 cryptic
species, with Asia II-1 being predominant in Asia. This study addresses a significant …

Insects are the most widespread group of organisms and more than one million species
have been described. These animals have significant ecological functions, for example they …

Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small water-soluble proteins mainly associated with
olfaction, facilitating the transport of odorant molecules to their relevant receptors in the …

Usually, the recognition of sex pheromone signals is restricted to adult moths. Here, our
behavioral assay showed that fourth-instar Spodoptera litura larvae are attracted to cabbage …

Abstract Triatomines (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae), commonly known as conenose
or kissing bugs, includes species of outstanding medical importance given their role as …

Chemosensory tissues exhibit significant between-species variability, yet the evolution of
gene expression and cell types underlying this diversity remain poorly understood. To …

Insects detect volatile chemicals using antennae, which house a vast variety of olfactory
sensory neurons (OSNs) that innervate hair-like structures called sensilla where odor …

The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is a devastating fruit pest that infests more than 450
plant species. Methyl eugenol (ME) has been used as male attractant to monitor and …
