This project examines the olfactory adaptations of the European corn borer, a pest that has shifted its pheromone preference due to changes in host plants. It aims to characterize the underlying molecular and physiological changes to improve pest management strategies.
Insects have a matchless capability to adapt, which is apparent from the beguiling diversity of insects, as well as in their notorious habit to invade our agro-ecosystems.
As insects rely strongly on their sense of smell, such adaptive radiation and speciation events are generally accompanied olfactory adaptation.
Yet, the neuroethological bases of olfactory adaptation remain largely elusive.The European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis, is a textbook example of pheromone polymorphism.
