Plant Thermomorphogenesis: Identifying Plant Thermosensors
, 2020 Plants are subjugated to fluctuations in temperature over daily and seasonal temporal scales. Because of their sessile nature, plants have evolved necessary physiological response pathways to temperature fluctuations in order to adapt to their environments.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018 Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) cation channels, like the TRP Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and TRP Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), are expressed on primary sensory neurons. These thermosensor channels play a role in pain processing.

Molecules empowering animals to sense and respond to temperature in changing environments [PDF]
, 2016 Adapting behavior to thermal cues is essential for animal growth and survival. Indeed, each and every biological and biochemical process is profoundly affected by temperature and its extremes can cause irreversible damage.

Simulation and measurement of melting effects on metal sheets caused by direct lightning strikes [PDF]
Direct lightning strikes melt metal parts of various systems, like fuel and propellant tanks of rockets and airplanes, at the point of strike. Responsible for this melting are the impulse current and, if occurring, the long duration current, both ...

Characterization of TRPA channels in the starfish Patiria pectinifera: involvement of thermally activated TRPA1 in thermotaxis in marine planktonic larvae. [PDF]
, 2017 The vast majority of marine invertebrates spend their larval period as pelagic plankton and are exposed to various environmental cues. Here we investigated the thermotaxis behaviors of the bipinnaria larvae of the starfish, Patiria pectinifera, in ...

Thermosensors in eubacteria: role and evolution
Journal of Biosciences, 2007 Temperature is an important physical stress factor sensed by bacteria and used to regulate gene expression. Three different macromolecules have been identified being able to sense temperature: DNA, mRNA and proteins. Depending on the induction mechanism, two different pathways have to be distinguished, namely the heat shock response and the high ...

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

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.At 2 5 °C, thermal activation initiates: i) CcIav/CcNan heterotetramer assembly → Ca2⁺ influx; ii) CcPKCα phosphorylation → AKH signaling potentiation; iii) CcAKH1 binding to membrane‐localized CcAKHR → energy mobilization (lipid catabolism/glycogenolysis) and vitellogenin transport via follicular patency; iv) Oocyte maturation → summer‐form nymph ...

TRPA1 mediates sensation of the rate of temperature change in Drosophila larvae. [PDF]
, 2017 Avoidance of noxious ambient heat is crucial for survival. A well-known phenomenon is that animals are sensitive to the rate of temperature change.
