Among the many wonders of nature, the sense of smell of the fly Drosophila melanogaster
might seem, at first glance, of esoteric interest. Nevertheless, for over a century, the 'nose'of …

Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons have long been thought to express only one
chemosensory receptor gene family. There are two main olfactory receptor gene families in …

Abstract Background Odorant receptors (ORs) as odorant-gated ion channels play a crucial
role in insect olfaction. They are formed by a heteromultimeric complex of the odorant …

Mosquitoes rely heavily on their olfactory systems for host seeking, selection of oviposition
sites, and avoiding predators and other environmental dangers. Of these behaviors, the …

Biohybrid systems integrate living materials with synthetic devices, exploiting their
respective advantages to solve challenging engineering problems. One challenge of critical …

The rice water weevil (RWW), Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae), is a destructive rice pest that threatens the rice industry worldwide. Odorant …

Finding a suitable oviposition site is a challenging task for a gravid female moth. At the same
time, it is of paramount importance considering the limited capability of most caterpillars to …

The olfactory transduction system of insects is involved in multiple behavioral processes
such as foraging, mating, and egg-laying behavior. In the insect olfactory receptor neurons …
