Insect olfactory systems present models to study interactions between animal genomes and
the environment. They have evolved for fast processing of specific odorant blends and for …

Plants emit green leaf volatiles (GLVs) in response to herbivore damage, thereby attracting
predators of the herbivores as part of an indirect defense. The GLV component of this …

Due to its well-defined genome, the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has become a very
important model organism in olfactory research. Despite all the research invested, few …

The superfamily Scarabaeoidea comprises a large and diverse monophyletic group.
Members share ancestral characteristics, but often exhibit considerable differences in their …

Simple Summary This study describes how simple traps can be used to study tree crowns
and undergrowth at low altitudes. They are used with bait made of fermenting liquids (beer …

Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli) is an endangered scarab beetle living in hollow trees. It has
mainly been known for its characteristic odor, typically described as a fruity, peachlike or …

Eddy covariance (EC) is the preferable technique for flux measurements since it is the only
direct flux determination method. It requires a continuum of high time resolution …

We screened 150 olfactory sensilla in single-sensillum recordings to unravel the
mechanisms underlying host selection in the spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus …

Previous laboratory studies have shown that the mirid Lygus hesperus is attracted to
volatiles emitted from alfalfa; feeding damage increases the amounts of several of these …

We identified several compounds, by gas chromatographic–electroantennographic
detection (GC–EAD), that were antennally active in the bark beetle Ips typographus and also …
