Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology

open access: yesBioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

Phylogenetic‐Pheromone Associations Obscured by Stabilising Selection and Natal Tree Effect in a Tree‐Killing Bark Beetle

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are highly reliant on chemical cues such as pheromones to facilitate communication and navigation. Some of the roles of pheromones include attracting and finding mates and conspecifics, and in these cases, we expect stabilising selection to dampen within‐population pheromone variation.
