A single sex pheromone receptor determines chemical response specificity of sexual behavior in the silkmoth Bombyx mori.
In insects and other animals, intraspecific communication between individuals of the opposite sex is mediated in part by chemical signals called sex pheromones. In most moth species, male moths rely heavily on species-specific sex pheromones emitted by female moths to identify and orient towards an...
