Sensory Morphology of Geodorcus helmsi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) and its Relevance to the Conservation of New Zealand Stag Beetles

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Insects use sensilla to detect chemical and physical stimuli, mediating behaviours such as mate finding, foraging and mechanosensory responses. The distribution and density of sensilla can be examined using scanning electron microscopy. Investigating these structures can help elucidate rarely observed behaviours (e.g. mate finding and foraging).

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1123-1141, June 2026.
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.

Taste: Independent origins of chemoreception coding systems?

, 2001
A large family of divergent candidate gustatory receptors has been identified in Drosophila. As with the odorant receptors, one receptor is expressed per sensory neuron, each class of which projects to discrete regions of the brain, allowing a ...

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

Understanding Barriers to Participate in Specialized Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Experienced by People With Neuromuscular Diseases

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 32, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale There are many types of neuromuscular diseases characterized by considerable variation in disease progression and functional abilities depending on the specific diagnosis, leading to an increased need for specialized rehabilitation across the lifespan.

Toward a Molecular Description of Pheromone Perception

, 2003
Successful sexual courtship depends on complex multimodal sensory integration. In this issue of Neuron, Bray and Amrein identify a male-specific gustatory receptor gene, Gr68a, expressed in leg chemosensory neurons.

Occlusal Sensitivity to Articulating Foils in Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders and Healthy Controls

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1118-1126, June 2026.
Using articulating foils of varying thickness, occlusal tactile acuity was compared between patients with chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDp) and healthy controls. TMDp patients showed enhanced detection of thinner foils and greater perceptual sensitivity, accompanied by a more liberal decision strategy, whereas higher frequencies of ...

Loss of Striatal Bradykinin B2 Receptor Alters Anxiety and Motivational Behaviors in Male Mice

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Impaired signaling of the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) in dorsal striatal neurons decreases anxiety‐like behavior and sucrose preference while enhancing voluntary running in mice. These results reveal a novel role for B2R in dopaminergic circuits that modulate motivation and emotional behavior.
