Gene Expression and Functional Analyses of Odorant Receptors in Small Hive Beetles (<i>Aethina tumida</i>)

Olfaction is key to many insects. Odorant receptors (ORs) stand among the key chemosensory receptors mediating the detection of pheromones and kairomones. Small hive beetles (SHBs), <i>Aethina tumida</i>, are parasites of social bee colonies and olfactory cues are especially important fo...
