This project investigates the mechanisms behind olfactory preference evolution in the European corn borer moth. By focusing on the genetic and neurobiological aspects of pheromone communication, it aims to understand how variations in pheromone receptor genes influence mating behavior and biodiversity.
Insects possess a highly developed sense of smell and live, as far as they are concerned, in a world dominated by odors.
The evolution of olfactory preference is at the very basis of the enormous niche differentiation and adaptive radiation in insects.
Paradoxically, the proximate mechanisms underlying the evolution of olfactory preference are elusive. I propose to take up this issue using the simple olfactory subcircuitry of moth pheromone communication.
Here I propose to study the evolutionary…
