Attraction and aversion of noctuid moths to fermented food sources coordinated by olfactory receptors from distinct gene families

Abstract Background Alternative food sources are crucial for the survival and reproduction of moths during nectar scarcity. Noctuid moths make a better use of fermented food sources than moths from other families, while the underlying molecular and genetic basis remain unexplored. As the fermentatio...
