Lateralization in the invertebrate brain: left-right asymmetry of olfaction in bumble bee, Bombus terrestris.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Brain and behavioural lateralization at the population level has been recently hypothesized to have evolved under social selective pressures as a strategy to optimize coordination among asymmetrical individuals.

A Functionally Conserved Gene Regulatory Network Module Governing Olfactory Neuron Diversity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
Sensory neuron diversity is required for organisms to decipher complex environmental cues. In Drosophila, the olfactory environment is detected by 50 different olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) classes that are clustered in combinations within distinct ...

Structural Colour in Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) Is Linked to Climate and Latitude

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental drivers frequently predict global patterns of colour diversity, but whether such patterns depend on the underlying colour mechanisms—pigments or microscopic structures—has scarcely been considered. Structural colour may have different functional properties that result in different associations with environmental variables ...

An Update on Advancement in Genomics Resources for Spiny Lobster Aquaculture Development

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of high‐throughput sequencing technologies has transformed aquaculture genomics, enabling unprecedented insights into the biology and improvement of non‐model aquatic species. Among crustaceans, lobsters represent one of the most commercially valuable yet genomically underexplored taxa. This review synthesises the current

Molecular Profiling of the Drosophila Antenna Reveals Conserved Genes Underlying Olfaction in Insects

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Repellent odors are widely used to prevent insect-borne diseases, making it imperative to identify the conserved molecular underpinnings of their olfactory systems.

She Doesn't Whisper: Female‐Prominent Stridulation Shaped by Morphology in a Buthid Scorpion and Insights on Its Function

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.
Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Identification and Functional Characterization of an Odorant Receptor Expressed in the Genitalia of Helicoverpa armigera

open access: yesAgriculture
Olfaction is critical for guiding the physiological activities of insects, with antennae being the primary olfactory organs. However, recent evidence suggests that other tissues may also participate in olfactory recognition. Among these, the genitalia of

The Two Main Olfactory Receptor Families in Drosophila, ORs and IRs: A Comparative Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Most insect species rely on the detection of olfactory cues for critical behaviors for the survival of the species, e.g., finding food, suitable mates and appropriate egg-laying sites.

Wings as Part of the Sensory System in the Aphid Subfamily Eriosomatinae s. lat. (Insecta, Hemiptera)

open access: yesInsects
Wings are a crucial evolutionary trait of insects and constitute an important part of their sensory system. Phloem-feeding aphids specialising in particular host plant species require an efficient sensory system and locomotive abilities to find an ...
