Functional analysis of sense organ specification in the Tribolium castaneum larva reveals divergent mechanisms in insects

Abstract Insects and other arthropods utilise external sensory structures for mechanosensory, olfactory, and gustatory reception. These sense organs have characteristic shapes related to their function, and in many cases are distributed in a fixed pattern so that they are identifiable individually....
