The topics dealt with in this review include host-plant odours (including general and specific
odour components, synergistic effects and host selection), olfactory receptors, structure …

Odor plumes form as the wind disperses odor molecules from their source. Their structure is
complex and is much like that seen in smoke plumes. The plume as a whole wanders …

Insects locate many resources important to survival by tracking along wind-borne odor
plumes to their source. It is well known that plumes are patchy distributions of high …

IN studies of moths flying upwind to a pheromone source, attention has focused on the
influence on flight orientation of the composition1, 2 and concentration3, 4 of the chemical …

The olfactory system of male moths is exquisitely sensitive to pheromones emitted by
females and transported in the environment by atmospheric turbulence. Moths respond to …

The simplicity and accessibility of the olfactory systems of insects underlie a body of
research essential to understanding not only olfactory function but also general principles of …

A subset of olfactory projection neurons in the brain of male Manduca sexta is described,
and their role in sex pheromone information processing is examined. 2. These neurons have …

Humans, being visually oriented, are well versed in camouflage and how animals hide from
predators that use vision to locate prey. However, many predators do not hunt by sight; they …

Odours play a very important role in the life of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera. In
the present paper, a review is given of the current knowledge of morphology, development …

Wind‐borne odour stimuli from a small point‐source of pheromone are intermittent owing to
the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the odour plume. The work reported here measures …
