TL;DR: The structural organization of second-order and third-order neurons suggests that MB is capable of integrating a wide range of odorant information across glomeruli, whereas relatively little integration between different subsets of the olfactory signal repertoire is likely to occur in the LH.

TL;DR: It is found that, before ORN axon arrival, PN dendrites have already created a prototypic map that resembles the adult glomerular map, by virtue of their selective dendritic localization.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the control on evapotranspiration in tropical vegetation at 21 pan-tropical eddy covariance sites, conducted a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of 13 evap-ranspiration models at these sites, and assessed the ability to scale up model estimates of evapOTranspiration for the test region of Amazonia.

TL;DR: Electron microscopy analysis reveals that embryonic-born PNs synapse with MB γ neurons in the larval calyx and that these synaptic profiles are engulfed by glia during early metamorphosis, and PN pruning requires cell-autonomous reception of the nuclear hormone ecdysone.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of seasonal patterns of evapotranspiration (ET) between forest types shows increased ET corresponding with the atmospheric evaporative demand in two evergreen forest ecosystems, but not in both evergreen and two deciduous forest ecosystems.
