Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins

eLife, 2016
Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for transporting hydrophobic odorants through an aqueous lymph to ...

Distribution and function of the antennal olfactory sensilla inCeratitis capitataWied. (Diptera, Trypetidae)

Bolletino di zoologia, 1989
Abstract Morphological observations by means of scanning electron mi croscopy and electrophysiological tests consisting of electroanten nogram recordings (EAGs) were performed on the third antennal segment (flagellum) of female and male Ceratitis capitata Wied.

The Ultramorphology and Sexual Dimorphism of Antennae and Sensilla in the Pale Grass Blue, Pseudozizeeria maha (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Insects
The pale grass blue, Pseudozizeeria maha, is a small lycaenid butterfly widely distributed across Asia. Due to its exclusively diurnal lifestyle and conspicuous sexual dimorphism in wing coloration, vision has traditionally been regarded as the primary ...

Functional Morphology and Ultrastructure of the Peripheral Antennal Sensillar System of Graphosoma italicum (Müller, 1766) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Insects
The antennae of the shield bug Graphosoma italicum (Müller, 1766) were examined through scanning and transmission electron microscopy to reveal their general morphology, as well as the antennal sensilla’s distribution, size, and ultrastructure of their ...

Morphology and Olfactory Recognition of Leg Sensilla in Honeybee Workers of Apis cerana cerana

Insects
Apis 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.

The Olfactory Co-receptor Orco from the Migratory Locust (Locusta migratoria) and the Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria): Identification and Expression pattern

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
In locusts, olfaction plays a crucial role for initiating and controlling behaviours, including food seeking and aggregation with conspecifics, which underlie the agricultural pest capacity of the animals.

Sensory bases of attractancy: morphology of mosquito olfactory sensilla-- a review.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 1996
The internal and external ultrastructure of virtually all of the olfactory sensilla of the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Anopheles stephensi have been described. Many other mosquitoes have had their olfactory complements partially described. This review summarizes ultrastructural features and suspected biological roles of the small sensilla coeloconica,
