Insects rely on their olfactory systems to find food and mates, and repellents that target their olfactory systems are widely used to prevent insect-borne diseases. However, relatively little is known
The odor-driven behavior of parasitoids critically determines their efficacy as biological control agents. Although host-seeking mechanisms are well studied, little is known about their danger signal
The wide range of insect niches has led to a rapid expansion of chemosensory gene families as well as their relatively independent evolution and a high variation. Previous studies have revealed some f
Transcriptomes of adult antennae from three Monochamus species. The study compared gene expression between basal and apical segments of the antennae of each species to identify putative pheromone rece
