Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
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
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 ...

Male Psyllids Differentially Learn in the Context of Copulation
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 ...

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

Strategies to control odours in livestock facilities: a critical review
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.

ABSTRACT Instrumental characterisation of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), responsible for off‐aroma, is mainly centred on gas chromatography‐based techniques. Despite previous reviews that have addressed the chemical compounds and biosynthetic pathways of off‐aroma generation, to date, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that critically ...
