Olfactory receptor accessory proteins play crucial roles in receptor function and gene choice [PDF]

, 2017
Each of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) chooses to express a single G protein-coupled olfactory receptor (OR) from a pool of hundreds. Here, we show the receptor transporting protein (RTP) family members play a dual role in both normal OR ...

The scent of death: A case study for volatile markers of decomposition on a concrete floor

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during human decomposition are chemically diverse and can provide forensic evidence indicating the prior presence of a corpse. In July 2023, the Michigan City Police Department received a report from an individual claiming to have murdered his roommate and stored the body in a basement cellar for 57 ...

Insights on the nutritional ecology of a nocturnal pollinating insect

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Nutritional ecology examines the environmental effects on nutritional needs, food intake and foraging behaviors, and the use of nutrients ingested by animals. Among insects, Lepidoptera are often considered opportunistic foragers that visit a wide variety of available flowers, although with some preferences.

Comparing the Expression of Olfaction-Related Genes in Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar) Adult Females and Larvae from One Flightless and Two Flight-Capable Populations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
In insects, flight and sophisticated olfactory systems go hand in hand and are essential to survival and evolutionary success. Females of many Lepidopteran species have secondarily lost their flight ability, which may lead to changes in the olfactory ...

The $Ca^{2+}$-activated $Cl^-$ current ensures robust and reliable signal amplification in vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons

, 2018
Activation of most primary sensory neurons results in transduction currents that are carried by cations. One notable exception is the vertebrate olfactory receptor neuron (ORN), where the transduction current is carried largely by the anion $Cl ...

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Antennal Transcriptome Analysis of the Chemosensory Gene Families From Trichoptera and Basal Lepidoptera

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The chemosensory gene families of insects encode proteins that are crucial for host location, mate finding, oviposition, and avoidance behaviors. The insect peripheral chemosensory system comprises odorant receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs ...

The full repertoire of Drosophila gustatory receptors for detecting an aversive compound. [PDF]

, 2015
The ability to detect toxic compounds in foods is essential for animal survival. However, the minimal subunit composition of gustatory receptors required for sensing aversive chemicals in Drosophila is unknown.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Perceiving Smellscapes [PDF]

, 2020
We perceive smells as perduring complex entities within a distal array that might be conceived of as smellscapes. However, the philosophical orthodoxy of Odor Theories has been to deny that smells are perceived as having a distal location.
