Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.A total of 629 gene families were identified to expand in the swamp eel, with five (OLFR, GNAL, PRKG1, NCALD, and PDE1) distributed in olfactory transduction (KEGG map04740). A total of 318 OR genes (289 functional genes, 10 partial genes, and 19 pseudogenes) were annotated in the swamp eel genome, significantly surpassing other fish species.

Beyond Modeling: All-Atom Olfactory Receptor Model Simulations
Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 Olfactory receptors (ORs) are a type of GTP-binding protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). These receptors are responsible for mediating the sense of smell through their interaction with odor ligands. OR-odorant interactions marks the first step in the process

Evolution of mosquito preference for humans linked to an odorant receptor
Nature, 2014 Female mosquitoes are major vectors of human disease and the most dangerous are those that preferentially bite humans. A ‘domestic’ form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has evolved to specialize in biting humans and is the main worldwide vector of dengue ...

Functional Expression of Mammalian Odorant Receptors [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2005 The olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nose detect and discriminate a large number of volatile environmental chemicals. This ability is essential for animals to find prey, food, mates, predators and toxic compounds. In OSNs, odorant receptor (OR) proteins, members of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily ...

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 487-503, May 2026.The first comparative analysis of Magnolia scents reveals that M. wufengensis is characterised by a high aldehyde content, exhibiting a fresh, sweet, and fruity fragrance profile. Furthermore, freeze‐drying preserves 6.7 times more 2‐nonenal compared to shade‐drying, highlighting its superior efficacy in retaining key volatile compounds.

The scent of death: A case study for volatile markers of decomposition on a concrete floor
Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 1480-1487, May 2026.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 ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

The Olfactory Nervous System Of Terrestrial And Aquatic Vertebrates [PDF]
, 2011 Animals in their natural milieu are surrounded by odors. These odors are rich source of information, and are perceived by sophisticated olfactory systems, that have evolved over time.
