Females smell differently: characteristics and significance of the most common olfactory sensilla of female silkmoths [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological SciencesIn the silkmoth Bombyx mori, the role of male sensilla trichodea in pheromone detection is well established. Here we study the corresponding female sensilla, which contain two olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and come in two lengths, each representing a ...

Diversity of olfactory structures: A comparative study of antennal sensilla in Trichoptera and Lepidoptera [PDF]
Micron, 2018 The antenna is the main sensory organ of insects, housing different types of sensilla dedicated to detect chemical cues, motion, humidity and temperature. Sensilla are divided into different types based on their wall structure and morphology. Among the olfactory sensilla, there is an enormous variation in the numbers and morphological types present in ...

Morphology and Olfactory Recognition of Leg Sensilla in Honeybee Workers of <i>Apis cerana cerana</i>. [PDF]
InsectsApis cerana cerana is a key social insect, and its ability to recognize chemical signals is crucial for maintaining colony homeostasis and coordinating collective behaviors, such as foraging, nursing, and defense. The legs of insects play a significant role in gustatory perception and proximity olfactory perception. In this study, the leg sensilla of A.

Morphological characterization and sexual dimorphism of the antennal sensilla in Bactericera gobica Loginova (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)—a scanning and transmission electron microscopic study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Bactericera gobica is the major pest of Goji berry plants and causes severe damage. Psyllids mainly use the antennal sensilla to recognize olfactory cues necessary to find host plants and mates.

Porous or non-porous? The challenge of studying unusual placoid sensilla of Megaphragma wasps (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) with electron microscopy [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021 Extreme miniaturization implies a high degree of optimization, rendering the retention of non-functional organs almost impossible. Two unique non-porous placoid sensilla on the antennae of females of Megaphragma were described in the literature.
