Insects live in a world dominated by odors that are produced by food, potential mates, and would-be predators. An insect's antennae are key to making sense of this complexity, because they are sensitive to chemicals that distinguish friend from foe or food from toxin. 🦗Meet Postdoctoral Researcher Rowan French and investigate the biology and importance of chemical communication in shaping the lives and diversity of insects. 🐜
See plant-feeding beetle specimens up-close, learn about some of the compounds beetles use to find their food plants or mates at the “smell station”, and discover how scientists take advantage of beetles' chemical sensitivities when designing traps for management, conservation, and research.🔬
