Journal ArticleDOI
Animal Communication: When I'm Calling You, Will You Answer Too?
TL;DR: A new study reveals that additional pheromone cues released only by younger females may prompt males to avoid them in favor of older but more fecund females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of animal navigation in odor plumes
TL;DR: The behavioral strategies employed by a variety of animals result in orientation responses that are appropriate for the dispersed, intermittent plumes dictated by the fluid-mechanical conditions in the environments that these different macroscopic organisms inhabit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reiterative responses to single strands of odor promote sustained upwind flight and odor source location by moths.

TL;DR: Electroantennogram recordings made from males in free flight upwind in a normal point source pheromone plume further support the idea that a high frequency of filaments encountered under the usual phersomone Plume conditions promotes only these repeated straight surges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odour-plume dynamics influence the brain's olfactory code.
TL;DR: With naturally intermittent odour stimulation, spike patterns recorded from moth antennal-lobe output neurons varied predictably with the fine-scale temporal dynamics and intensity of the odour, supporting the hypothesis that olfactory circuits compensate for contextual variations in the stimulus pattern with high temporal precision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combinatorial odor discrimination in the brain: attractive and antagonist odor blends are represented in distinct combinations of uniquely identifiable glomeruli.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the selective activation of different combinations of functionally distinct MGC glomeruli is a general means for discriminating these specific attractant and antagonist chemical signals in the brain.
