In insects, olfaction plays a crucial role in many behavioral contexts, such as locating food,
sexual partners, and oviposition sites. To successfully perform such behaviors, insects must …

Spatial and social behaviour are fundamental aspects of an animal's biology, and their
social and spatial environments are indelibly linked through mutual causes and shared …

Insects detect their hosts or mates primarily through olfaction, and olfactory receptors (ORs)
are at the core of odorant detection. Each species has evolved a unique repertoire of ORs …

Attract-and-kill has considerable potential as a tactic in integrated management of pests of
agricultural crops, but the use of sex pheromones as attractants is limited by male multiple …

In an environment with changing availability and quality of host plants, phytophagous
insects are under selection pressure to find quality hosts. They need to maximize their …

The association of insect herbivores with their host plants is influenced by behaviors
governing acceptance of those plants for feeding and oviposition. Behavioral changes …
