Bivariate postprocessing of wind vectors

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We introduce three novel bivariate postprocessing approaches and analyze their performance for joint postprocessing of bivariate wind‐vector components in Germany. Bivariate vine‐copula‐based models, a bivariate gradient‐boosted version of ensemble model output statistics (EMOS), and a bivariate distributional regression network (DRN) are compared with

Mechanosensory neurons control sweet sensing in Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2016
How different sensory modalities interact to control feeding is poorly understood. Here, authors show that in Drosophila, activation of labellar mechanosensory neurons causes inhibition of sweet-sensing gustatory receptor neurons, as a result ...

A structural perspective on insect gustatory receptors

Chemical Senses
Abstract Across the animal kingdom, a remarkable diversity of chemoreceptors has evolved, reflecting the ecological and evolutionary pressures that shape species-specific sensory demands. Insects, the most biodiverse class of animals, play crucial roles in ecosystems and have an extensive chemosensory repertoire.

The pharyngeal taste organ of a blood-feeding insect functions in food recognition

BMC Biology
Background Obligate blood-feeding insects obtain the nutrients and water necessary to ensure survival from the vertebrate blood. The internal taste sensilla, situated in the pharynx, evaluate the suitability of the ingested food.

The effect of cyclophosphamide on salt taste in mice [PDF]

, 2016
Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment, yet it has many severe side effects including altered taste. Patients report that salt taste is most affected by chemotherapy. The salt taste transduction system has yet to be fully elucidated.

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Functional Development of the Octenol Response in Aedes aegypti

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Attraction of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), CO2, lactic acid or ammonia emitted by vertebrate hosts is not only contingent on the presence of odorants in the environment, but is also influenced by the insect’s physiological ...

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...
