Identification of Genes Involved in Chemoreception in Plutella xyllostella by Antennal Transcriptome Analysis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Perception of environmental and habitat cues is of significance for insect survival and reproduction. Odor detection in insects is mediated by a number of proteins in antennae such as odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), odorant binding ...

Sympatric Pieris butterfly species exhibit a high conservation of chemoreceptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Sensory processes have often been argued to play a central role in the selection of ecological niches and in the formation of new species. Butterflies are among the best studied animal groups with regards to their evolutionary and behavioral ecology and ...
