11. Social and environmental olfactory signals mediate insect behavioral ecology and evolution
Sammanfattning : Odors are essential in mediating insect reproductive behavior. Environmental odors help insects locate suitable feeding or egg-laying sites and avoid suboptimal hosts or dangerous habitats. Sex pheromones, on the other hand, are responsible for mate finding and elicit courtship and mating. LÄS MER
12. Evolution of olfaction in Lepidoptera and Trichoptera : Gene families and antennal morphology
Sammanfattning : In moths, females produce sex pheromone compounds to attract males over a long distance for mating. The antennae of moths and many other insects have specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), to sense the pheromone compounds and they group in a monophyletic clade (PR clade).

13. Perceptual integration of odor mixtures
Sammanfattning : Virtually all perceptions of environmental odors are based on an integration process of many volatile components, in many cases hundreds of components. By investigating the perceptual dimensions in this perceptual integration process and how it is affected by the neurophysiology of the olfactory system we can begin to understand the nature of complex odor perception.

14. Mechanisms of Olfactory sensory neuron class maintenance in Drosophila : It is all about design and equilibrium
Sammanfattning : How the cellular diversity of our body is generated and maintained is still a great mystery regardless of the wealth of research that has been done on this issue. The greatest complexity is found in the nervous system that contains a vast number of neurons and displays a great diversity in cell types and classes. LÄS MER
15. Mechanisms of sensory neuron diversification during development and in the adult Drosophila : How to make a difference
Sammanfattning : The nervous system contains a vast number of neurons and displays a great diversity in cell types and classes. Even though this has been known for a long time, the exact mechanism of cell specification is still poorly understood. LÄS MER
