Attraction of Culex mosquitoes to aldehydes from human emanations. [PDF]
, 2017 Anecdotes related to preferential mosquito bites are very common, but to date there is no complete explanation as to why one out of two people systematically receives more mosquito bites than the other when both are equally accessible. Here we tested the

The olfactory basis of orchid pollination by mosquitoes. [PDF]
, 2020 Mosquitoes are important vectors of disease and require sources of carbohydrates for reproduction and survival. Unlike host-related behaviors of mosquitoes, comparatively less is understood about the mechanisms involved in nectar-feeding decisions, or ...

A Novel Olfactometer for Efficient and Flexible Odorant Delivery [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2018 Abstract Understanding how sensory space maps to neural activity in the olfactory system requires efficiently and flexibly delivering numerous odorants within single experimental preparations. Such delivery is difficult with current olfactometer designs, which typically include limited numbers of stimulus channels and are subject to ...

Effect of Endophytic Fungi on Thrips tabaci Development and Population Dynamics
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi are promising biocontrol agents because they colonise healthy plant tissues asymptomatically while inducing systemic resistance that negatively affects herbivorous insects. We investigated whether treatments with the endophytes Trichoderma harzianum and Beauveria bassiana in two onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.; Sturon and Red ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

A neuroimaging study of pleasant and unpleasant olfactory perceptions of virgin olive oil [PDF]
, 2016 Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to collect information from neurons that receive direct input from olfactory bulbs when subjects smell virgin olive oil. The pleasant aroma of three extra virgin olive oils (var.
