A novel lineage of candidate pheromone receptors for sex communication in moths

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Sex pheromone receptors (PRs) are key players in chemical communication between mating partners in insects. In the highly diversified insect order Lepidoptera, male PRs tuned to female-emitted type I pheromones (which make up the vast majority of ...
