Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
, 2015 Flying insects use olfaction to navigate towards fruits in complex odor environments with remarkable accuracy. Some fruits change odor profiles substantially during ripening and related species can prefer different stages.

DEET feet: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use their tarsi to sense DEET on contact [PDF]
, 2018 SummaryDEET (N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) is the most effective and broadly used insect repellent, but its mechanism of action is both complex and controversial [1]. Previous work demonstrated that DEET acts both on insect smell [2-6] and taste [7-11] systems.

The olfactory basis of orchid pollination by mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2020 Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less is understood about the mechanisms involved in nectar-feeding decisions, or ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract With the introduction and adaptation of non‐native mosquitoes to cities, vector‐borne diseases are emerging concerns in the United States of America. A growing body of literature suggests that mosquito infestations and associated diseases are a greater burden in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas within the heterogeneous urban ecosystem ...

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.
