Abstract

Understanding Insect Behaviors and Olfactory Signal Transduction

Highlights

  • Notion of the PestInsect relies on chemosensory or chemoreceptor organs located on antennae, mouthparts, wings, legs and ovipositors to live

  • The olfactory receptors are most abundant on the antennae, but may be associated with the mouthparts or external genitalia; while the taste receptors are most abundant on the mouthparts, but may be found on the antennae, tarsi, and genitalia

  • The mechanism starts by trapping chemical molecules dispersed in the air by special chemoreceptors or olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons
