Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014 In Lepidoptera, the behavior of caterpillars to plant odors is poorly known. However, caterpillars are equipped with a reduced number of olfactory sensilla (3 on the antenna and 4-5 on the maxillary palps) which they can use to make fine discrimination ...

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.

Transcuticular calcium imaging as a tool for the functional study of insect odorant receptors
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 The primary actors in the detection of olfactory information in insects are odorant receptors (ORs), transmembrane proteins expressed at the dendrites of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). In order to decode the insect olfactome, many studies focus on the

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10551-10560, November 2026.Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

The effect of geometry on the micromechanical behaviour of campaniform sensillum biomimetic structure as strain sensor [PDF]
, 2013 Campaniform sensillum is a very sensitive strain sensing organ even though it is small in size. Various geometrical features which could contribute to strain sensing detection as being employed by the insect sensing organ were investigated.

Modified MXene Aerogel With Broadband Microwave Absorption Inspired by Melanophila Acuminata Beetle
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.This work introduces a novel biomimetic strategy inspired by the infrared‐sensing sensilla of the Melanophila acuminata beetle. We have designed a multi‐level aerogel, featuring a three‐dimensional carbon framework decorated with synergistic CeO2 nanoparticles and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets.

Sociobiology, 2014 While antenna is the main organ for insect to accept the external chemical signals, the antennal sensilla that are diverse in structure and function form the insect receptors in chemical communication. Since a variety of Pseudacteon species are important
