  1. 16. The role of odor receptor protein Or22a in Drosophila melanogaster oviposition and the response spectra of chimeric receptor protein Or22a-b

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Lovisa Pettersson; [2018]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a well-studied olfactory system. A crucial part of the olfactory system is the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). One type of these OSNs, Ab3a, expresses the Odor receptors (ORs) Or22a and Or22b. READ MORE

  4. 18. Are birds in agricultural habitats attracted to plant volatiles?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Malin Leidefors; [2018]
    Keywords : insectivorous birds; avian olfaction; foraging; herbivore-induced volatiles; pest control;

    Abstract : Birds’ ability to fly allows them to track resource abundance and relocate themselves to areas with more resources. It has been a longstanding belief that they forage mainly through visual cues due to their relatively small olfactory bulbs. READ MORE

  6. 20. Can alteration in host odor blends change the olfactory preferences in Spodoptera littoralis?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Hanna Olovsson; [2017]
    Keywords : host preference; Spodoptera littoralis; induction of feeding; cotton; olfactometer; y-tube;

    Abstract : Gustatory and olfactory stimuli have been shown to induce feeding preferences in generalist phytophagous insect species. Generalists have to process a lot of information while performing host selection and it has been suggested that this may be a limitation, while it makes the host detection slower than for specialist species that process a lower amount of information.
