Sensilla on antenna and maxillary palp of Neoceratitis asiatica (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Micron, 2020
Neoceratitis asiatica (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a disastrous pest for wolfberry production in China. In our preliminary field trapping experiment, both female and male N. asiatica adults were captured by male-produced sex attractant. To provide a solid background for studying mechanism of olfaction, the sensilla of antenna and maxillary palp of N ...

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE MAXILLARY PALPS OF ACRIDIDAE (ORTHOPTERA)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1970
The functions of the maxillary palps of acridids have been investigated in experiments with Locusta migratoria migratorioides (R. & F.), Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk.) und Chorthip‐pus purallelus (Zett.). The palp makes small irregular flicking movements and more extensive rapid vibrations described as palpation.

The maxillary palp of Aedes aegypti, a model of multisensory integration

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
Female yellow-fever mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti, are obligate blood-feeders and vectors of the pathogens that cause dengue fever, yellow fever and Chikungunya. This feeding behavior concludes a series of multisensory events guiding the mosquito to its host from a distance.

Sensillar Ultrastructure of the Antennae and Maxillary Palps of the Warble Fly Oestromyia leporina (Pallas, 1778) (Diptera: Oestridae)

Insects
Despite the development of molecular techniques, morphological phylogeny still remains integral in underpinning the relationship between some clades of Calyptratae, especially the ones with fast radiation, such as those in Oestridae (Diptera: Brachycera),

Olfactory physiology in the Drosophila maxillary palp requires the visual system gene rdgB

Journal of Comparative Physiology A: Neuroethology, Sensory, Neural, and Behavioral Physiology, 1994
We describe the kinetics of odorant response in the maxillary palp of Drosophila, and show that the rate of recovery from odorant stimulation is affected by mutation of the rdgB (retinal degeneration B) gene. We use immunocytochemistry to confirm that the rdgB gene product is expressed in the maxillary palp.

Maxillary palps can mediate taste rejection of plant allelochemicals by caterpillars

Journal of Comparative Physiology A: Sensory, Neural, and Behavioral Physiology, 1998
All caterpillars possess a pair of maxillary palps that "drum" the surface of foods during feeding. These chemosensory organs contain over 65% of a caterpillar's taste receptor cells, but their functional significance remains largely unknown. We examined their role in rejection of plant allelochemicals, using the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) as a ...

Maxillary Palp: A Second Olfactory Organ of Drosophila

1994
A wide variety of animals, including many amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, have an olfactory organ and another chemosensory organ, the vomeronasal organ [1–3]. This second organ is associated with pheromone detection and the modulation of sexual behavior.

Structural and functional aspects of sense organs on the maxillary palps of Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1976
Abstract The maxillary palps of the blowfly Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy are shown to bear, in addition to long mechanoreceptive hairs, small sensilla basiconica ccontaining three neurons. The electrical responses obtained with a simple qualitative olfactometer indicate an olfactory function.

Quantifying relative importance of maxillary palp information on the olfactory behavior of Drosophila melanogaster

Journal of Comparative Physiology A: Neuroethology, Sensory, Neural, and Behavioral Physiology, 1994
Maxillary palps have been proposed as secondary olfactory organs, after the antennae, in Drosophila melanogaster. Our study tries to establish the quantitative importance of both organs as olfactory information mediators. Dose-response curves for three odorants: ethyl acetate, propionaldehyde and benzaldehyde were carried out for comparing olfaction in

Ultrastructural Morphology of the Antenna and Maxillary Palp ofSarcophaga tibialis(Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2016
A scanning electron microscopy investigation of the antenna and maxillary palp of the adult of Sarcophaga tibialis Macquart (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), a species of medical, veterinary, and forensic relevance, is presented for the first time. Adults of both sexes used in this study were obtained from larvae collected in a case of traumatic myiasis in a ...
