The hermit crab’s nose – antennal transcriptomics

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

microRNA390 modulates Nicotiana attenuata's tolerance response to Manduca sexta herbivory

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2021
miR390 is a highly conserved miRNA in plant lineages known to function in growth and development processes, such as lateral root development, and in responses to salt and metal stress.

Functional olfactory sensory neurons housed in olfactory sensilla on the ovipositor of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta.

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesNature 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

Ecology of endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this study, the symbiont cells of several endolithic lichens colonizing granite in continental Antarctica and the relationships they have with the abiotic environment were analyzed in situ, in order to characterize the microecosystems integrating ...

Metabolomics, an Essential Tool in Exploring and Harnessing Microbial Chemical Ecology

open access: yesPhytobiomes Journal, 2020
Efforts to meet the steadily increasing global need for plant products without continuously expanding the environmental footprint of crop production face several convoluted challenges.

Reduced tillage, but not organic matter input, increased nematode diversity and food web stability in European long‐term field experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Soil nematode communities and food web indices can inform about the complexity, nutrient flows and decomposition pathways of soil food webs, reflecting soil quality.

Neuronal processing of complex mixtures establishes a unique odor representation in the moth antennal lobe

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
