Temporal niche partitioning through olfactory cell type evolution

Ambra Masuzzo, Asfa Sabrin Borbora, Rolando D. Moreira-Soto, Liliane Abuin, Michael Reichelt, Michele Marconcini, Steeve Cruchet, Markus Knaden, Daehan Lee, Richard Benton

This study shows how Drosophila sechellia evolved a specialized olfactory receptor to detect ripe noni fruit, enabling temporal niche partitioning by reducing competition and parasitization.
