The transient receptor potential superfamily of ion channels (TRP channels) is widely
recognized for the roles its members play in sensory nervous systems. However, the …

Crustaceans are often exposed to hypoxic stress in intensive aquaculture systems. Such
stress leads to physiological, behavioural and biochemical changes, which can cause …

We outline a framework for evaluating scientific evidence of sentience, focusing on pain
experience. It includes eight neural and cognitive-behavioural criteria, with confidence …

Birch and colleagues have developed an important and useful framework for evaluating the
evidence for sentience–namely, the capacity to experience pain, distress and suffering, in …

To reproduce and to transmit disease, female mosquitoes must obtain blood meals and
locate appropriate sites for egg laying (oviposition). While distinct sensory cues drive each …

Animals rely on their chemosensory system to discriminate among a very large number of
attractive or repulsive chemical cues in the environment, which is essential to respond with …

Crustacean olfaction is fundamental to most aspects of living and communicating in aquatic
environments and more broadly, for individual‐and population‐level success. Accelerated …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are a large family of cation-selective channels,
surpassed in variety only by voltage-gated potassium channels. Detailed molecular …

Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a highly divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors
(iGluR) and are conserved across Protostomia, a major branch of the animal kingdom that …

Chemical communication via infochemicals plays a pivotal role in ecological interactions,
allowing organisms to sense their environment, locate predators, food, habitats, or mates. A …
