Abstract

, indicating non-redundant roles in receptor combinational coding. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated variation in gene age among these receptors, with losses confined to species that do not use EBF as an alarm signal. This study demonstrates a multi-receptor system for EBF detection in Aphidinae aphids and advances the understanding of olfactory system evolution.
