The entomology literature has historically suggested insects cannot feel pain, leading to
their exclusion from ethical debates and animal welfare legislation. However, there may be …

In the context of global environmental change much of the focus has been on changing
temperatures. However, patterns of rainfall and water availability have also been changing …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the modern ecological and evolutionary contexts
of the evolutionary physiology in insects and provides a survey of sources of environmental …

The simplicity and accessibility of the olfactory systems of insects underlie a body of
research essential to understanding not only olfactory function but also general principles of …

The antennal lobes (ALs) are the primary olfactory centers in the insect brain. In the AL of the
honeybee, olfactory glomeruli receive input via four antennal sensory tracts (T1–4). Axons of …

The Drosophila antenna contains receptor neurons for mechanical, olfactory, thermal, and
humidity stimuli. Neurons expressing the ionotropic receptor IR40a have been implicated in …

Mosquitoes rely on the integration of multiple sensory cues, including olfactory, visual, and
thermal stimuli, to detect, identify, and locate their hosts [1–4]. Although we increasingly …

Most research on plant–pollinator communication has focused on sensory and behavioral
responses to relatively static cues. Floral rewards such as nectar, however, are dynamic …

Studies of pollination biology often focus on visual and olfactory aspects of attraction, with
few studies addressing behavioral responses and morphological adaptation to primary …

Male moths locate their mates using species-specific sex pheromones emitted by
conspecific females. One striking feature of sex pheromone recognition in males is the high …
