Abstract. Where to lay the eggs is a crucial decision for females as it influences the success of their offspring. Female flies prefer to lay eggs on food

We indeed found increased hybridisation rates after flies were exposed to just slightly increased levels of ozone.

In brief, Nanj Jiang shows that after exposure to ozone flies lose lots of their pheromones. As these pheromones among other things are responsible for mating boundaries between closely related species, ozone can corrupt these boundaries.

In the silkmoth Bombyx mori, the role of male sensilla trichodea in pheromone detection is well established. Here we study the corresponding female sensilla, which contain two olfactory sensory...

We are very happy that our new study on the comparison of olfactory behavior and processing in different drosophilids is now online at Special thanks to Ana Depetris-Chauvin and Diego Galagovsky for this tour de force!.

By comparing five Drosophila species that differ in their phylogenetic distance from each other and the similarity of their ecological niche, Depetris et al. show that both phylogeny and the ecolog...

We are happy that our new study on effects of ozone on insect olfaction is out now at We show that insects might not only suffer from the loss of odors due to the odorants’ degradation by ozone, but also from the accumulation of degradation products.
