Across evolutionary lineages, insects vary in social complexity, from those that exhibit
extended parental care to those with elaborate divisions of labor. Here, we synthesize the …

The insect odorant receptor (Or) gene family is among the largest multigene families in
insect genomes, but its evolutionary origin and mode of expansion is still a matter of debate …

Experience-dependent plasticity in the central nervous system allows an animal to adapt its
responses to stimuli over different time scales. In this study, we explored the impacts of adult …

Mushroom bodies (MBs), a higher-order center in the honeybee brain, comprise some
subtypes/populations of interneurons termed as Kenyon cells (KCs), which are distinguished …

In the past few decades, a substantial portion of neuroscience research has moved from
studies conducted across a spectrum of animals to reliance on a few species. While this …

Insects possess highly developed olfactory systems which play pivotal roles in its ecological
adaptations, host plant location, and oviposition behavior. Bactrocera minax is an …

Most insects, including human-targeting mosquitoes, detect odors through odorant-activated
ion channel complexes consisting of a divergent odorant-binding subunit (OR) and a …

Background DNA methylation, as an essential epigenetic modification found in mammals
and plants, has been implicated to play an important role in insect reproduction. However …
