The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a notorious pest of fruit crops. Gravid
females locate suitable oviposition sites by detecting host plant volatiles. Here, we …

Simple Summary Chemical information, among various environmental cues, is the most
important factor for insect survival and reproduction. Insects usually rely on pheromone …

Finding a suitable oviposition site is a challenging task for a gravid female fly, because the
hatched maggots have limited mobility, making it difficult to find an alternative host. The …

Olfaction plays an essential role in insect behavior such as host location, foraging, mating,
and oviposition. The odorant receptor co‐receptor (Orco) is an obligatory odorant receptor …

The evolution of feeding habits leads to speciation in insects. Bactrocera true fruit flies
display diverse feeding habits across species. We combine behavioral and functional …

Abstract The Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a highly destructive pest of various fruits.
The reproductive and host-finding behaviors of this species are affected by several plant …

Background Insects rely on chemosensory perception, mainly olfaction, for the location of
mates, food sources, and oviposition sites. Plant-released volatile compounds guide …

Odorant receptors (ORs) in insects are crucial for the detection of chemical signals.
However, the functions of the conserved OR genes among insect species are rarely studied …

Highlights•The sensitivity of peripheral olfactory system and central olfactory neurons to
various olfactory signals is often altered in response to different physiological (age and …
