▪ Abstract Insect odor and taste receptors are highly sensitive detectors of food, mates, and
oviposition sites. Following the identification of the first insect odor and taste receptors in …

Animals use their chemosensory systems to detect and discriminate among chemical cues
in the environment. Remarkable progress has recently been made in our knowledge of the …

The host acceptances of insects can be determined largely by detecting plant metabolites
using insect taste. In the present study, we investigated the gustatory sensitivity and feeding …

To understand the functional similarities of fly and mammalian taste receptors, we used a top–
down approach that first established the fly sweetener–response profile. We employed the …

Behaviors and mortality of two filth fly parasitoid wasps, Spalangia endius Walker and
Urolepis rufipes Ashmead, were tested in response to granular fly baits containing one of the …

The electrophysiological response of labellar and tarsal chemosensilla in the blowfly
Phormia regina was studied in response to a complex stimulus naturally encountered by …

The study on transduction mechanisms underlying bitter stimuli is a particularly intriguing
challenge for taste researchers. The present study investigates, in the labellar …

Oogenesis in most adult insects is a nutrient-dependent process involving ingestion of both
proteins and carbohydrates that ultimately depends on peripheral input from …

Botanical insecticides have introduced a new concept in insecticide research. In response to
insect attacks, some plants can release volatile compounds that alter insect metabolism and …
