... stimuli such as herbivore-induced fig volatiles and CO 2 elicited electrophysiological responses from the ovipositors. Silver nitrate staining also revealed pores in ovipositor sensilla, indicating their olfactory nature. Insects could use volatile sensors on their ovipositors to evaluate ecologically...

...DeForest Mellon, Jr SUMMARY The antennular flagella of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii each possess a linear array of near-field receptors, termed standing feathered sensilla, that are extremely sensitive to movement of the surrounding water. Previously it had been shown that, within each...

... olfaction glomerulus olfactory lobe antennule crustacean sensilla Procambarus clarkii Fluid environments disperse embedded odorants in chaotic spatial patterns characterized by turbulent eddy fronts of unpredictable amplitude, breadth and frequency ( Dusenbury, 1992 ; Atema, 1996 ; Moore...

... trachea, basiconical sensilla and the sensory cones in the posterior segments of the embryo. We also show that there are two splice variants of Gyc-88E that differ by seven amino acids, although no differences in biochemical properties could be determined. We have also extended our analysis...

... for Manduca larvae is the steroidal glycoside, indioside D. Two pairs of galeal taste sensilla, the lateral and medial sensilla styloconica, are both necessary and sufficient for the feeding preferences of host-restricted larvae. We conducted electrophysiological tip recordings from sensilla of solanaceous...

... to the escape behaviour was localized on specific veins of the hindwing tip. Scanning electron microscopy revealed three types of mechanoreceptive sensillae on the corresponding region. Based on their morphology, type I and type III sensillae were judged to be trichoid and chaetic sensillae, respectively. Type...

..., Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). Western blot analysis further confirmed that LAP expression was restricted to antennal tissue. Histological analyses showed that LAP expression within the antennae was specifically associated with chemosensory sensilla on the antenna. Within the sensilla, LAP immunoreactivity...

...S. M. Rogers; S. J. Simpson ABSTRACT The effect of diet on the number of gustatory and olfactory sensilla was investigated in locusts. Insects fed for the final two stadia on nutritionally adequate synthetic foods have fewer sensilla on the maxillary palps and antennae than insects fed on the usual...
