The digestive system in Zygentoma as an insect model for high cellulase activity Open
The digestive system of selected phytophagous insects has been examined as a potential prospecting resource for identification of novel cellulolytic enzymes with potential industrial applications. In contrast to other model species, howeve…

The origin of the odorant receptor gene family in insects Open
The origin of the insect odorant receptor (OR) gene family has been hypothesized to have coincided with the evolution of terrestriality in insects. Missbach et al. (2014) suggested that ORs instead evolved with an ancestral OR co-receptor …

The origin of the odorant receptor gene family in insects Open
The sense of smell enables the detection and discrimination of airborne chemicals via chemosensory receptors that have evolved independently multiple times throughout the tree of life. In insects, the odorant receptor (OR) gene family is t…
