Multimodal chemosensory integration through the maxillary palp in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Drosophila melanogaster has an olfactory organ called the maxillary palp. It is smaller and numerically simpler than the antenna, and its specific role in behavior has long been unclear.

Olfactory channels associated with the Drosophila maxillary palp mediate short- and long-range attraction [PDF]
eLife, 2016 The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is equipped with two peripheral olfactory organs, antenna and maxillary palp. The antenna is involved in finding food, oviposition sites and mates.

Mouthpart palp sensilla of basal Trichoptera families [PDF]
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 2023 A comparative SEM study of palp sensory surfaces in 25 caddisfly species representing seven families reveals seven types of sensilla: long trichoid, blunt chaetoid, campaniform, mushroom-like pseudoplacoid, petaloid, thick basiconic and thin basiconic ...

Anatomical Investigation Reveals a Second Olfactory System in Locusts. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolWe traced chemosensory pathways from locust palps through the central nervous system. Olfactory input from basiconic sensilla targets the glomerular lobe and accessory calyx, whereas gustatory input is restricted to gnathal circuits. Thus, the palp and antennal olfactory pathways form parallel but separate systems.

The Cephalic Morphology of Protopselaphus-A Phylogenetic Connecting Link in Staphylinidae (Coleoptera). [PDF]
J MorpholThe head morphology including soft tissues of an ethanol‐preserved specimen of Protopselaphus was examined using synchrotron‐µCT and SEM and interpreted with respect to their possible phylogenetic implications. Our findings strongly support the monophyly of Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae, with adult cephalic synapomorphies including the vertical ...

Gravid Anopheles stephensi Detects Indole for Oviposition Despite the Ablation of Antennae and Maxillary Palps [PDF]
InsectsOviposition site selection is critical for mosquito population dynamics. Gravid mosquitoes rely on chemical cues to identify suitable breeding habitats.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolTranscriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Impact of elevated CO2 level and egg quiescence duration on gene expression in the peripheral olfactory system of Aedes aegypti [PDF]
Scientific ReportsElevation in CO2 can significantly impact the biology of various organisms, affecting life-history traits of both aquatic and terrestrial forms, including disease-vectoring mosquitoes. For mosquitoes, this effect is accentuated by egg quiescence duration,

Sensory coding of borneol repellency in culicine mosquitoes via the Or49 pathway [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPlant-derived repellents containing borneol and camphor have been used for centuries, yet the sensory mechanisms that mediate their effects in mosquitoes have remained obscure.
