Nicotine as an odorant : a biochemical and electrophysiological study of receptors for nicotine in the olfactory epithelium of the rat [PDF]
The results suggest that nicotine vapour stimulates an in vitro olfactory preparation in three strains of rat and two strains of mouse, in a manner similar to known odorants.

A broadly tuned mouse odorant receptor that detects nitrotoluenes
, 2012 Mammals employ large numbers of odorant receptors to sample and identify volatile chemicals in the environment. These receptors are thought to vary not only in specificity for particular odorants, but also in breadth of tuning.

Estimating the odorant-receptor affinity matrix.
, 2020 (A) Spike rate matrix from the DoOR database containing 24 odorant receptors and 110 odorants. The data was originally published in [2]. Each column represents an odorant, and each row represents an OSN receptor type.

Odor Identification Quantitatively by Odorant Receptor Vectors
, 2022 Abstract Background: Odors are perceived by individuals through sensation, memory, experience, etc., and mainly subjective and qualitative evaluation has been performed until now. On the other hand, since Buck et al. succeeded in cloning the odorant receptor in 1991, researchers have shown interest in olfaction system, and molecular biology ...

Ethology, EarlyView.Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Insect odorant receptor trafficking requires calmodulin
BMC Biology, 2016 Like most animals, insects rely on their olfactory systems for finding food and mates and in avoiding noxious chemicals and predators. Most insect olfactory neurons express an odorant-specific odorant receptor (OR) along with Orco, the olfactory co ...

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Transcriptome 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.

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 ...

eLife, 2017 Insects find food and mates by navigating odorant plumes that can be highly intermittent, with intensities and durations that vary rapidly over orders of magnitude.

Functional analysis of a mammalian odorant receptor subfamily
, 2006 Phylogenetic analysis groups mammalian odorant receptors into two broad classes and numerous subfamilies. These subfamilies are proposed to reflect functional organization. Testing this idea requires an assay allowing detailed functional characterization
