Pheromones are chemicals that serve intraspecific communication. In animals, the ability to
detect and discriminate pheromones in a complex chemical environment substantially …

Since the emergence of the first living cells, survival has hinged on the ability to detect and
localize chemicals in the environment. Modern animal species ranging from insects to …

Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

Male moths detect female‐released sex pheromones with extraordinary sensitivity. The
remarkable sensory ability is based on a cooperative interplay of pheromone binding …

Males of the moth species Heliothis virescens are able to detect the female‐released
pheromone with remarkable sensitivity and specificity, distinguishing between highly related …

The detection of volatile chemical information in insects is performed by three types of
olfactory receptors, odorant receptors (ORs), specific gustatory receptor (GR) proteins for …

For insects, finding of a mate or a food source relies often chiefly on olfactory information.
The identification of a specific mate or host involves the recognition of a specific odor blend …

The sensilla trichodea of the silkmoth Antheraea polyphemus are innervated by three types
of receptor neurons each responding specifically to one of three pheromone components …

Moths depend on olfactory cues such as sex pheromones to find and recognize mating
partners. Pheromone receptors (PRs) and Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) are thought …

Male moths respond to conspecific female-released pheromones with remarkable sensitivity
and specificity, due to highly specialized chemosensory neurons in their antennae. In …
