Evolution of olfactory receptor in oriental fruit fly Dacus dorsalis [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1979
Male oriental fruit flies ( Dacus dorsalis ) from colonies in Taiwan and Hawaii were evaluated for limit of response to various analogues of methyl eugenol. The results are interpreted in terms of the geometry and allosteric requirements of the antennal receptor that triggers the characteristic methyl eugenol reflex.

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Patterns of Avian Frugivory in Beijing's Urban Forest Across Multiple Temporal Scales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Based on 584,886 arboreal camera trap photos collected over 12 months, we identified 618 frugivory events across 19 bird species and 12 fruiting tree species in Beijing's urban forests. Fruiting phenology, bird migration, and human disturbance strongly influenced temporal patterns of avian frugivory, highlighting strategies for sustaining biodiversity ...
