Genome‐wide identification of olfactory receptor and odorant‐binding protein gene families and their roles in Heliothine chemosensory evolution

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide systematic annotation identified 81 odorant receptors (ORs) and 49 odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) in the tobacco budworm, Chloridea virescens. Phylogenetic analyses revealed chemosensory gene diversification in Heliothinae and extensive lineage‐specific duplications in C.

Olfactory responses and sensilla morphology of the blackcurrant leaf midge Dasineura tetensi [PDF]

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1999
AbstractOlfactory responses of Dasineura tetensi (Rubs) (Diptera; Cecidomyiidae) to leaf volatiles of blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) were tested in a 4‐way olfactometer. Newly emerged virgin females showed no response to the leaf volatiles emitted from a blackcurrant shoot.

Behavioral Resistance in Varroa destructor: First Evidence in Response to Acaricide?

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.
Varroa mites exhibited population‐dependent behavioral responses: two populationw avoided tau‐fluvalinate, and none showed specific behavioral responses to amitraz and oxalic acid, despite contrasting phenotypical resistance profiles. ABSTRACT The ectoparasite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) poses a major threat to honey bee colonies due to

A Comparative Morphological Study of the Ultrastructure of Antennal Sensilla in Sclerodermus guani (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae)

Insects
The morphology, number, and distribution of antennal sensilla differ between males and females, reflecting adaptations to sex-specific ecological roles and life histories.

Sensory Morphology of Geodorcus helmsi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) and its Relevance to the Conservation of New Zealand Stag Beetles

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
Insects use sensilla to detect chemical and physical stimuli, mediating behaviours such as mate finding, foraging and mechanosensory responses. The distribution and density of sensilla can be examined using scanning electron microscopy. Investigating these structures can help elucidate rarely observed behaviours (e.g. mate finding and foraging).

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Olfaction in houseflies : morphology and electrophysiology [PDF]

, 2001
his thesis is aimed at the improvement of housefly pest control using attractive odours in traps and baits. To achieve this aim, a further understanding is required of how houseflies detect and discriminate odours and how their olfactory sensitivity ...

Antennal sensillum morphology and electrophysiological responses of olfactory receptor neurons in trichoid sensilla of the diamondback moth (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) [PDF]

, 2016
Plant chemical signals are important olfactory cues for the survival and reproduction of phytophagous insects. The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a Brassica spp.
