The paper identifies female-biased odorant receptor genes in turnip moths that respond to plant volatile compounds, showing some are attractive and others repulsive.

The paper functionally characterizes odorant receptors in bark beetles, revealing their specific responses to monoterpenoids from different ecological sources and suggesting neofunctionalization after gene duplication.

The paper identifies and characterizes two odorant receptors in bark beetles, predicting their ligand binding sites and highlighting key residues involved in pheromone recognition.

The paper identifies two male-specific pheromones in Drosophila mojavensis subspecies and shows how they contribute to sexual isolation through conserved sensory pathways and differential interpretation.
