Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Plastics have become inevitable for human beings in their daily life. Million tons of plastic
waste is entering in oceans, soil, freshwater, and sediments. Invasion of plastics in different …

Ecological communities are organized in trophic levels that share manifold interactions
forming complex food webs. Infochemicals can further modify these interactions, eg, by …

The scientific literature on the subject of welfare and pain in crustaceans is immature. It is
based largely on a few dubious and disputed studies done on a small number of decapod …

Aquatic organisms detect chemical cues to sense the local environment, for example, to find
a mate, locate food, and identify danger. Knowledge of chemical cues can be used in …

In the past decade, many studies have investigated the effects of low pH/high CO2 as a
proxy for ocean acidification on olfactory-mediated behaviours of marine organisms. The …

Benthic marine invertebrates sense molecules from other organisms and use these
molecules to find and evaluate the organisms as sources of food. These processes depend …

Malacostracan crustaceans display a large diversity of sizes, morphs and life styles.
However, only a few representatives of decapod taxa have served as models for analyzing …

Crustaceans express genes for at least three classes of putative chemosensory proteins.
These are: Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), derived from the heterotetrameric ionotropic …
