Electrophysiological and morphological characterization of contact chemosensilla in adults and larvae of the butterfly, atrophaneura alcinous

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Kazuko Tsuchihara and colleagues from the Department of Information Science, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Tohoku Gakuin University, Sendai, Japan have published the research work: Electrophysiological and Morphological Characterization of Contact Chemosensilla in Adults and Larvae of the Butterfly, Atrophaneura alcinous, in the Journal: Insects 2022, 802 of /2022/
  • what: For this study, the chemosensory system of A. alcinous was investigated to understand host_plant selection in swallowtail butterflies.

SUMMARY

    In butterflies, oviposition on host_plants is evoked through speciesspecific combinations of chemosensory systems and plant compounds. The authors recorded the electrophysiological responses . . .
