Male Psyllids Differentially Learn in the Context of Copulation

Insects, 2017
In the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, stimulatory cuticular hydrocarbons act as sex pheromone attractants. Male psyllids locate aggregations of females using those olfactory cues, as well as vibrational communication on the plant ...

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1053-1062, September 2026.
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

Identification of Volatile Odor Compounds in Extracts of Four Types of Herbaceous Plant Spices via GC × GC–O‐TOF MS

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
In this study, sensory evaluation, electronic nose, solid‐phase microextraction, and comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography‐olfactometry‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry were used to analyze the volatile compounds and key odor‐active components in the extracts of sour horn, alfalfa, chicory, and fenugreek, and a total of 59 odor‐active ...

Influence of two sterilisation ways, gamma-irradiation and heat treatment, on the volatiles of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.)

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2010
The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of ionising irradiation with different doses of gamma-rays (5 kGy, 10 kGy, and 30 kGy) versus the effect of heat sterilisation (dry steam, 130°C, 3 min) on the microbiological quality

Attraction of Phoracantha mastersi (Coloeptera: Cerambycidae) to copulation‐associated olfactory stimuli

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 502-507, August 2026.
Damage caused by Phoracantha mastersi larvae are the primary cause of forest decline in Australia's subalpine forests. Behaviour of male adult beetles was tested in response to a suite of commercial semiochemicals and conspecifics engaged in active copulation within a Y‐maze.

Strategies to control odours in livestock facilities: a critical review

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013
Odours generated in livestock buildings constitute one of the most relevant air quality issues of intensive livestock production. Reducing nuisance episodes related to odour exposure is therefore essential for a sustainable livestock production.

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Olfactory Bulb Volume and Function Recovery in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 7, Page 2900-2912, July 2026.
This study investigated perioperative changes in olfactory bulb volume (OBV) in patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis using high‐resolution 3T MRI. Postoperative increases in OBV were associated with improvements in olfactory identification, suggesting a potential link between olfactory bulb structural plasticity and functional recovery ...

Drought Stress Promotes Aphis gossypii Growth but Decreases Host Attractiveness in Melon

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 770-779, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a significant environmental factor that affects plant physiology and growth, leading to considerable detrimental effects on crop productivity. Cucumis melo, which is widely cultivated for its economic value, is particularly susceptible to water scarcity.
