Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their
environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in …

Our knowledge of the molecular basis of odorant reception in insects has grown
exponentially over the past decade. Odorant receptors (ORs) from moths, fruit flies …

Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

The sense of smell enables insects to recognize and discriminate a broad range of volatile
chemicals in their environment originating from prey, host plants and conspecifics. These …

Detection of chemical signals from the environment through olfaction is an indispensable
mechanism for maintaining an insect's life, evoking critical behavioral responses. Among …

Neuroethology utilizes a wide range of multidisciplinary approaches to decipher neural
correlates of natural behaviors associated with an animal's ecological niche. By placing …

Detection of chemical signals both in insects and in vertebrates is mediated by soluble
proteins, highly concentrated in olfactory organs, which bind semiochemicals and activate …

CD36 is a membrane glycoprotein present on platelets, mononuclear phagocytes,
adipocytes, hepatocytes, myocytes, and some epithelia. On microvascular endothelial cells …

Aphids are important agricultural pests and also biological models for studies of insect-plant
