No Evidence for Ionotropic Pheromone Transduction in the Hawkmoth Manduca sexta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are 7-transmembrane receptors with inverse membrane topology. They associate with the conserved ion channel Orco. As chaperon, Orco maintains ORs in cilia and, as pacemaker channel, Orco controls spontaneous activity in ...

The role of juvenile hormone and insulin/TOR signaling in the growth of Manduca sexta [PDF]
, 2015 In many insect species, fitness trade-offs exist between maximizing body size and developmental speed. Understanding how various species evolve different life history strategies requires knowledge of the physiological mechanisms underlying the regulation

Current Overview and Main Challenges of the Use of Galleria mellonella in Biomedical Research
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella have become an increasingly important in vivo model for biomedical research, providing a practical, ethical, and biologically relevant alternative to vertebrate organisms. Its suitability as a model system lies in its low maintenance cost, ease of handling, and ability to survive at both ...

Sex-specific odorant receptors of the Tobacco Hornworm Manduca sexta
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2010 As odor information plays a vital role in the life of moths, their olfactory sense has evolved into a highly specific and sensitive apparatus relevant to reproduction and survival.

Discovering useful parts for pose estimation in sparsely annotated datasets [PDF]
, 2016 Our work introduces a novel way to increase pose estimation accuracy by discovering parts from unannotated regions of training images. Discovered parts are used to generate more accurate appearance likelihoods for traditional part-based models like ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Transcriptomic data indicates that gene expression responses underlying developmental thermal plasticity differ from those of short‐term acclimation temperature in the butterfly Pieris rapae. We also identify a small subset of genes for which expression levels depend on the interaction of developmental temperature and short‐term acclimation temperature.

Pheromone Transduction in Moths [PDF]
, 2010 Calling female moths attract their mates late at night with intermittent release of a species-specific sex-pheromone blend. Mean frequency of pheromone filaments encodes distance to the calling female.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.North American populations of the invasive tiger mosquito exhibit genetic and phenotypic differences in egg survival in response to hot and dry conditions. ABSTRACT How wild organisms are responding to climate change is one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century.
