The maxillary palps of Tephritidae are selectively tuned to food volatiles and diverge with ecology [PDF]
The maxillary palp is an auxiliary olfactory organ in insects, which, different from the antennae, is equipped with only a few olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) types. We postulated that these derived mouthpart structures, positioned at the base of the proboscis, may be particularly important in mediating feeding behaviors. As feeding is spatio-temporally

Ultrastructure of the Olfactory Sensilla across the Antennae and Maxillary Palps of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]
The sensilla on the antennae and maxillary palps are the most important olfactory organs, via which the insect can perceive the semiochemicals to adjust their host seeking and oviposition behaviors. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a major agricultural quarantine pest infesting more than 250 different ...

ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDIES ON THE SENSILLA OF THE MOUTH PARTS AND ANTENNAE OF THE PRE-ADULT STAGES OF SITOPHILUS GRANARIUS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) [PDF]
The granary weevil S. granarius is one of the most important stored product pests on the world, because of its damage. This pest is the main reason of the post harvest losses in world production; as a result of adults and larvae infesting and feeding on

Ultrastructure of sensilla on antennae and maxillary palps in three Mesembrinellidae species [PDF]
Abstract Background Having the right identification is essential in the field of entomology. The scanning electron microscopy allows rapid and accurate identification of different species of flies since a better visualization of the external morphology of immature and some adults is possible. The aim of this study is to describe some ultrastructures of
