The Sensory Equipment of Diving Lice, a Host Ecology-Based Comparative Study

Insects
Seal lice (Anoplura) parasitize amphibious hosts, such as pinnipeds, and are uniquely adapted to an oceanic environment. As obligate, permanent ectoparasites feed on the blood of their hosts and are completely dependent on them.

Olfactory Proteins in Timema Stick Insects

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Most animals use olfaction to obtain important information from the environment, including the presence of food or mates. Insects detect odorants through receptors that are expressed in the sensory neurons of the olfactory sensilla, which cover the ...

Imaging and spectral analysis of autofluorescence patterns in larval head structures of mosquito vectors

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2022
Autofluorescence (AF) in mosquitoes is currently poorly explored, despite its great potential as a marker of body structures and biological functions. Here, for the first time AF in larval heads of two mosquitoes of key public health importance, Aedes ...
