Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]
, 2010 Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.

Calmodulin affects sensitization of Drosophila melanogaster odorant receptors
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016 Flying insects have developed a remarkably sensitive olfactory system to detect faint and turbulent odor traces. This ability is linked to the olfactory receptors class of odorant receptors (ORs), occurring exclusively in winged insects.

The hermit crab’s nose – antennal transcriptomics
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 In the course of evolution, crustaceans adapted to a large variety of habitats. Probably the most extreme habitat shift was the transition from water to land, which occurred independently in at least five crustacean lineages.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Olfactory systems evolved to detect and identify volatile chemical cues, in many cases across great distances. However, the precision of copulatory and oviposition behaviors suggest that they may be guided by olfactory cues detected by sensory systems ...

Ozone exposure disrupts insect sexual communication
Nature Communications, 2023 Insect pheromones can be degraded by the air pollutant ozone. Jiang et al. show that ozone-exposed male flies lose their pheromones and become less attractive to females. Additionally, ozone-exposed males exhibited increased male-male courtship behaviour

Expression of ionotropic receptors in terrestrial hermit crab’s olfactory sensory neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Coenobitidae are one out of at least five crustacean lineages which independently succeeded in the transition from water to land. This change in lifestyle required adaptation of the peripheral olfactory organs, the antennules, in order to sense chemical ...
