The biological bases of wanting have been characterized in mammals, but whether an
equivalent wanting system exists in insects remains unknown. In this study, we focused on …

Malacostracan crustaceans display a large diversity of sizes, morphs and life styles.
However, only a few representatives of decapod taxa have served as models for analyzing …

Odours are transported in turbulent plumes, which result in rapid concentration fluctuations,
that contain rich information about the olfactory scenery, such as the composition and …

All motile organisms use spatially distributed chemical features of their surroundings to
guide their behaviors, but the neural mechanisms underlying such behaviors in mammals …

The sense of smell is an essential modality for many species, in particular nocturnal and
crepuscular mammals, to gather information about their environment. Olfactory cues provide …

The neuropeptide F (NPF) and its short version (sNPF) mediate food-and stress-related
responses in solitary insects. In the honeybee, a social insect where food collection and …

Odour processing exhibits multiple parallels between vertebrate and invertebrate olfactory
