A novel strain sensor based on the campaniform sensillum of insects [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2002 The functional design of the campaniform sensillum was modelled as a hole in a plate using two- and three-dimensional finite-element modelling. Different shapes of opening in a fibrous composite plate amplify differently the global strains imposed on the plate, and different configurations of reinforcement also have an effect.

Ultrastructure of Antennal Sensilla in Adults of Dioryctria rubella Hampson (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Insects, 2021 Antennal sensilla play an essential role in insect life because they receive environmental cues. Dioryctria rubella is an important pine pest in China, but information on the morphology and distribution of its sensilla is limited.

Single-Sensillum Taste Recordings in Mosquitoes
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2023 In insects, gustatory neurons sense chemicals upon contact and directly inform many behaviors critical for survival and reproduction, including biting, feeding, mating, and egg laying. However, the taste sensory system is underexplored in many anthropophilic disease vectors such as mosquitoes, which acquire and transmit human pathogens during blood ...

eLife, 2020 Antennae are often considered to be the nostrils of insects. Here, we sequenced the transcriptome of the pheromone gland-ovipositor complex of Helicoverpa assulta and discovered that an odorant receptor (OR) gene, HassOR31, had much higher expression in ...

Insects Can Count: Sensory Basis of Host Discrimination in Parasitoid Wasps Revealed. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The solitary parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma is one of the best studied organisms concerning the ecology, behaviour and physiology of host discrimination. Behavioural evidence shows that L.
