Plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play pivotal roles in interactions with
insect herbivores. Individual VOCs can be directly toxic or deterrent, serve as signal …

Highlights•The social environment shapes the sensory systems of social Hymenoptera.•
Sensory modality trade-offs may compensate for social context changes.•Novel approaches …

Understanding of the neural bases for complex behaviors in Hymenoptera insect species
has been limited by a lack of tools that allow measuring neuronal activity simultaneously in …

Since their discovery in insects, pheromones are considered as ubiquitous and stereotyped
chemical messengers acting in intraspecific animal communication. Here we studied the …

Odour processing exhibits multiple parallels between vertebrate and invertebrate olfactory
systems. Insects, in particular, have emerged as relevant models for olfactory studies …

Simple Summary One major challenge when using animal models to study cognition is that
we cannot ask them what they are thinking or how they are feeling; instead, we measure the …

In insects, neuronal responses to clean air have so far been reported only episodically in
moths. Here we present results obtained by fast two-photon calcium imaging in the honey …

Reverse-engineering how complex multicellular systems develop and function is a grand
challenge for systems bioengineers. This challenge has motivated the creation of a suite of …

Simple Summary In this work, we imaged the neuronal activity in the peripheral olfactory
system of honey bees, the antennal lobes. Instead of the conventional analysis that focuses …

Drosophila suzukii severely damages the production of berry and stone fruits in large parts
of the world. Unlike D. melanogaster, which reproduces on overripe and fermenting fruits on …
