J Insect Physiol. 2017;100:108-118 pubmed publisher..These findings not only increase our understanding of the olfactory process in triatomine species, but also identify potential molecular targets to be explored for population control of such insect vectors. ..
- Strauch M, Müthing C, Broeg M, Szyszka P, Münch D, Laudes T, et al. The looks of an odour--visualising neural odour response patterns in real time. BMC Bioinformatics. 2013;14 Suppl 19:S6 pubmed publisher..Apart from supporting neurobiology, the software allows for utilising the insect antenna as a chemosensor, e.g. to detect or to classify odours. ..
- Ku H, Sun Y. Notch-dependent epithelial fold determines boundary formation between developmental fields in the Drosophila antenna. PLoS Genet. 2017;13:e1006898 pubmed publisher..Our results demonstrate a new mechanism of boundary formation by actomyosin-dependent tissue folding, which provides a physical barrier to prevent mixing of cells from adjacent developmental fields. ..
- Chen Q, Pei D, Li J, Jing C, Wu W, Man Y. The antenna transcriptome changes in mosquito Anopheles sinensis, pre- and post- blood meal. PLoS ONE. 2017;12:e0181399 pubmed publisher..This study provides a first global view in the changes of transcript accumulation elicited by blood meal in An. sinensis female antennae. ..
- Quero C, Vidal B, Guerrero A. EAG responses increase of Spodoptera littoralis antennae after a single pheromone pulse. Nat Prod Commun. 2014;9:1099-101 pubmed..Our results suggest that the olfactory receptor neurons, and not only the neurons in the antennal lobe, may be involved in the increased antennal response after a single pheromone pulse. ..

Cell Tissue Res. 2017;368:1-12 pubmed publisher..Immunofluorescence was measured in the AL during de- and regeneration in adults and 5th instar nymphs: after a rapid but transient, decrease, it reappeared. Both processes happen faster in 5th instar nymphs than in adults. ..

PLoS ONE. 2017;12:e0179416 pubmed publisher..Results indicate that detection of pest E. nr. fornicatus in Florida can be improved by using a two-component lure consisting of p-menth-2-en-1-ol and (-)-?-copaene. ..

PLoS ONE. 2017;12:e0179433 pubmed publisher..The findings of the present study may help explain the molecular mechanism underlying olfaction and the evolution of olfactory genes encoding sex pheromones in O. emarginata. ..
- Jayaweera A, Barry K. Male antenna morphology and its effect on scramble competition in false garden mantids. Naturwissenschaften. 2017;104:75 pubmed publisher..Results of the current study suggest that antenna morphology plays a significant role in mate location and hence scramble competition in the P. albofimbriata mating system. ..
