... of disease vector mosquito larvae showed that each species exhibited strikingly different exploration behaviors. However, species behaved similarly when navigating to preferred cues. Chemosensory Disease vector Chemotaxis Olfaction Gustation Foraging Mosquitoes are global disease vectors...

...Alex Vielma; Alvaro Ardiles; Luz Delgado; Oliver Schmachtenberg SUMMARY Crypt olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are a third type of chemosensory neuron along with ciliated and microvillous ORNs in the olfactory epithelium of fishes, but their functional role is still unknown. To investigate...

... illuminating an odor plume labeled with dye [planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) technique] permitted us to measure the instantaneous odor concentration encountered by the animal's chemosensory organs (antennules) while it tracked the plume. We simultaneously measured behavior and the high-resolution odor...

...K. S. Mead; M. A. R. Koehl ABSTRACT Many crustaceans detect odors from distant sources using chemosensory sensilla (aesthetascs) on their antennules. The greater the flow of water through arrays of aesthetascs, the faster the access of odorant to receptors inside the aesthetascs. Stomatopods...
