Odors: from chemical structures to gaseous plumes [PDF]
, 2020 We are immersed within an odorous sea of chemical currents that we parse into individual odors with complex structures. Odors have been posited as determined by the structural relation between the molecules that compose the chemical compounds and their ...

Mimicry in the “Plume Moths” [PDF]
Nature, 1882 I HAVE not seen in any entomological work an attempt to explain the well-known peculiar character of the wings of the “Plume Moths” (Pterophori). They depart so thoroughly from the rest of the Lepidoptera in having the wings cleft into so-called feathery “plumes” (although retaining the microscopic scales characteristic of their order), that we may be ...

Reactive searching and infotaxis in odor source localization. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Male moths aiming to locate pheromone-releasing females rely on stimulus-adapted search maneuvers complicated by a discontinuous distribution of pheromone patches.

New species of “giant” plume moths of the genus Platyptilia (Lepidoptera, Pterophoridae) from Uganda
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2016 This paper describes two new species of plume moths from the group of the so-called “giant” Platyptilia Hubner, 1825: Platyptilia fletcheri Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich sp. nov. and P. stanleyi Ustjuzhanin & Kovtunovich sp. nov.

History dependence in insect flight decisions during odor tracking [PDF]
, 2018 Natural decision-making often involves extended decision sequences in response to variable stimuli with complex structure. As an example, many animals follow odor plumes to locate food sources or mates, but turbulence breaks up the advected odor signal ...

Olfactory coding in the turbulent realm.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Long-distance olfactory search behaviors depend on odor detection dynamics. Due to turbulence, olfactory signals travel as bursts of variable concentration and spacing and are characterized by long-tail distributions of odor/no-odor events, challenging ...

Applied Sciences, 2020 Male and female moths communicate in complex ways to search for and to select a mate. In a process termed calling, females emit small quantities of pheromones, generating plumes that spread in the environment.

Monoenyl hydrocarbons in female body wax of the yellow peach moth as synergists of aldehyde pheromone components [PDF]
, 2011 The non-polar components of female body wax and pheromone gland extracts of the yellow peach moth synergistically enhanced male behavioral responses from close to pheromone sources in wind tunnel tests when mixed with an aldehyde pheromone blend.
