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.

Chemical defences against herbivores
, 2012 In recent years it has become increasingly clear that chemical interactions play a fundamental role in aquatic habitats and have far-reaching evolutionary and ecological consequences. A plethora of studies have shown that aquatic organisms from most taxa

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

Journey in the Ostrinia World: From Pest to Model in Chemical Ecology
, 2010 The European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis (ECB; Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a widely recognized pest of agricultural significance over much of the northern hemisphere. Because of the potential value of pheromone-based control, there has been considerable

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2011 Animals typically perceive natural odor cues in their olfactory environment as a complex mixture of chemically diverse components. In insects, the initial representation of an odor mixture occurs in the first olfactory center of the brain, the antennal ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 Insect olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) express a diverse array of receptors from different protein families i.e. ionotropic receptors (IR), gustatory receptors (GR) and odorant receptors (OR).
