This project investigates how maggots perceive gravity by examining their orientation and behavior during the pupation process. It aims to identify the sensory organs and neural circuits involved in gravity sensing, with potential applications in pest management to mitigate agricultural damage caused by insects like th…
Although gravity sensation is not easy to sense, it is extrapolated by combining multisensory information.
Due to this integrative nature of gravity perception, the knowledge regarding the molecular and neural basis of gravity sensing is highly reduced.
The relevance of geotaxis behaviors in insect pest crop survival has been well documented.
For instance, harvesting maize imposes a positive geotaxis behavior on the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis), where diapause larvae and pupae are fo…
