Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...

Genome-Wide Comparative Analysis of Chemosensory Gene Families in Five Tsetse Fly Species. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 For decades, odour-baited traps have been used for control of tsetse flies (Diptera; Glossinidae), vectors of African trypanosomes. However, differential responses to known attractants have been reported in different Glossina species, hindering ...

Chemosensory-Related Genes in Marine Copepods
Marine Drugs, 2022 Living organisms deeply rely on the acquisition of chemical signals in any aspect of their life, from searching for food, mating and defending themselves from stressors. Copepods, the most abundant and ubiquitous metazoans on Earth, possess diversified and highly specified chemoreceptive structures along their body.

Identification of a nematode chemosensory gene family [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Taking advantage of the recent availability of the whole genome sequence of Caenorhabditis briggsae , a closely related nematode to Caenorhabditis elegans , we have examined the chemosensory gene superfamily by using comparative genomic methods.
