Functional characterization and evolution of olfactory responses in coeloconic sensilla of the global fruit pest Drosophila suzukii
The olfactory changes identified in this study likely play a significant role in the novel behavior of D. suzukii. This work also identifies phenylacetaldehyde as a potent attractant for D. suzukii, which can be used to develop targeted management strategies to mitigate the serious impact of this pest.
