Disruption of the odorant coreceptor Orco impairs foraging and host finding behaviors in the New World screwworm fly
Abstract The evolution of obligate ectoparasitism in blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) has intrigued scientists for over a century, and surprisingly, the genetics underlying this lifestyle remain largely unknown. Blowflies use odors to locate food and oviposition sites; therefore, olfaction might h...
