Through analysis of the mosquitoes' antennal features -- particularly the arrangement and morphology of sensory hairs -- civil and construction engineering PhD candidate and team researcher Phani ...

A combination of methods, including a new method for tagging genes, demonstrates that the chemosensory co-receptors of Drosophila melanogaster (Orco, IR8a, IR25a, IR76b) are expressed widely and ...

The molecular basis of synaptic specialization and its role in physiology, behavior, and disease.

Mosquitoes rely on their antennae to navigate the auditory landscape, homing in on critical sounds amid the background noise of their own wingbeats. Through analysis of the mosquitoes’ antennal ...

The researchers couldn’t model the exact curvature of sensory hairs due to computational constraints. They also had to estimate material properties for different antenna components since comprehensive ...

The specimens were collected during the rainy season. The climate of the area is "As" following Koeppen's system, with two distinct seasons: a dry summer and a wet winter (Kottek et al. 2006).
