There are 3559 species of mosquitoes in the world (Harbach 2018) but, so far, only a
handful of them have been a focus of olfactory neuroscience and neurobiology research …

The water-to-land transition in vertebrate evolution offers an unusual opportunity to consider
computational affordances of a new ecology for the brain. All sensory modalities are …

Most animals have compound eyes, with tens to thousands of lenses attached rigidly to the
exoskeleton. A natural assumption is that all of these species must resort to moving either …

Insects use sex pheromones as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics
and repel heterospecifics. Despite the profound knowledge of sex pheromones, little is …

Behaviors associated with reproduction are major contributors to the evolutionary success of
organisms and are subject to many evolutionary forces, including natural and sexual …

Communication mechanisms underlying the sexual isolation of species are poorly
understood. Using four subspecies of Drosophila mojavensis as a model, we identify two …

The olfactory cues used by various animals to detect and identify food items often include
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by food-associated microorganisms. Microbial …

The importance of behavioral evolution during speciation is well established, but we know
little about how this is manifest in sensory and neural systems. A handful of studies have …

Neural circuits govern the interface between the external environment, internal cues and
outwardly directed behaviours. To process multiple environmental stimuli and integrate …

Abstract Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a significant invasive pest
in soft-skin fruits and berries in Asia, Europe, and North and South America. Many …
