The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their
environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in …

Insects thrive in diverse ecological niches in large part because of their highly sophisticated
olfactory systems. Over the last two decades, a major focus in the study of insect olfaction …

The term 'odorant-binding proteins (Obps)'is used to refer to a large family of insect proteins
that are exceptional in their number, abundance and diversity. The name derives from the …

Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are expressed at extremely high levels in the antennae of
insects, and have long been believed essential for carrying hydrophobic odorants to odor …

Olfaction underpins many insect behaviors, such as foraging, host location, mating, and
predator avoidance. In the first step of insect olfaction, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) bind …

Living in a group creates a complex and dynamic environment in which behavior of
individuals is influenced by and affects the behavior of others. Although social interaction …

Understanding the causes of the decline in bee population has attracted intensive attention
worldwide. The indiscriminate use of agrochemicals is a persistent problem due to their …

Spodoptera frugiperda is a worldwide generalist pest with remarkable adaptations to
environments and stresses, including developmental stage-related behavioral and …

Animals respond to changes in the environment which affect their internal state by adapting
their behaviors. Social isolation is a form of passive environmental stressor that alters …

Critical to evolutionary fitness, animals regulate social behaviors by integrating signals from
both their external environments and internal states. Here, we find that population density …
