An odorant receptor for a key odor constituent of ambergris

Communications Biology
Ambergris, a substance derived from the digestive system of sperm whales, has been valued for centuries for its unique aromatic properties. However, historical accounts indicate that certain human populations, particularly in East Asia, utilized ambergris without regard for its odor quality.

The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 126-138, April 2026.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Sensitivity Threshold for Selected Aromas and Defects in Casual Wine Consumers

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wine aromas and faults are caused by chemical compounds impacting wine quality that can originate from viticulture, vinification, bottling, or aging. Wine professionals are highly trained to recognize and assess quality indicators including characteristic aromas and faults/defects.

Conflicting adaptations in an inhibitory feedback circuit

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 7, Page 3005-3031, 1 April 2026.
Abstract figure legend We studied activity‐dependent adaptation in the fruit fly Drosophila’s memory centre, the mushroom body. Here, excitatory Kenyon cells (KCs) receive feedback inhibition from the anterior paired lateral (APL) neuron. When KCs are artificially overactivated for 24 h, both KCs and APL reduce their sensitivity to excitation (‘↓ Exc’,
