Preference for and resistance to a toxic sulfur volatile opens up a unique niche in Drosophila busckii

V. Pal Mahadevan, D. Galagovsky, M. Knaden, B. S. Hansson

This study identifies Drosophila busckii's tolerance and use of dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) as an olfactory cue for host selection, linking it to an insensitive cytochrome c oxidase.

Temperature-dependent modulation of odor-dependent behavior in three drosophilid fly species of differing thermal preference

S. B. S. Baleba, V. Pal Mahadevan, M. Knaden, B. S. Hansson

This study examines how temperature affects odor-guided behavior in three drosophilid flies with different thermal preferences.

Aversive bimodal associations impact visual and olfactory memory performance in Drosophila

D. Thiagarajan, F. Eberl, D. Veit, B. S. Hansson, M. Knaden, S. Sachse

This study shows that bimodal sensory integration in Drosophila affects visual and olfactory memory differently, with visual memory improving but olfactory memory being suppressed or only slightly enhanced.

Increased ozone levels disrupt insect sexual communication

N. Jiang, H. Chang, J. Weisflog, F. Eberl, D. Veit, K. Weniger, B. S. Hansson, M. Knaden

This study shows that increased ozone levels oxidize male-specific pheromones in Drosophila melanogaster, reducing pheromone amounts and altering sexual recognition.

Evolution of a pest: towards the complete neuroethology of Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora

I. W. Keesey, J. Zhang, A. Depetris-Chauvin, G. F. Obiero, M. Knaden, B. S. Hansson

The paper assesses olfactory functions in Drosophila suzukii and related species to identify evolutionary patterns in chemosensory receptors.

Niche partitioning as a selective pressure for the evolution of the Drosophila nervous system

I. W. Keesey, V. Grabe, M. Knaden, B. S. Hansson

This study investigates a tradeoff between visual and olfactory investment in two closely related Drosophila species, suggesting that niche partitioning through sensory specialization facilitates coexistence.

Optimization of insect odorant receptor trafficking and functional expression via transient transfection in HEK293 cells

F. Miazzi, C. Hoyer, S. Sachse, M. Knaden, D. Wicher, B. S. Hansson, S. Lavista-Llanos

This study improves the functional expression of insect odorant receptors in HEK293 cells by optimizing trafficking signals and using a bidirectional expression vector.

Learning may help pollinators find their host plants in polluted landscapes

B. Cook, A. Haverkamp, B. S. Hansson, T. Roulston, M. Lerdau, M. Knaden

This study shows that pollinators can learn to find host plants despite ozone pollution altering floral scents, by associating altered odors with rewards.
