Researchers describe, for the first time, the structure of a smell-receptor protein common among insects. Its inner architecture illuminates how insects evolved to detect an amazing diversity of odors ...
Researchers have discovered a rule to predict an arthropod community structure based on the genomic variation in a foundation tree species. Generally, spatial and temporal factors affect how ...
Most of the volume of epithelial cell bodies containing nuclei are aligned as a monolayer on the apical (upper) side. They extend pillarlike cell processes in a basal (downward) direction. At the ...
Genetic diversity and population structure underpin the capacity of insect species to adapt to environmental change, resist emerging diseases and pests, and maintain ecological functions. Genetic ...
The mosquito, sworn enemy of exposed ankles and elbows, locates each bloody meal using a finely tuned sense of smell. Yet, not all insects can sniff out vulnerable flesh. Butterflies, for example, ...
