Abstract excerpt
Gustatory receptors (GRs) are a divergent family of chemoreceptors in insects. By detecting ligands spanning from nutrients to aversive compounds, GRs regulate essential behaviors including feeding, mating, and habitat selection. This multifunctionality makes GRs an indispensable model for studying the sensory-driven evolution paradigm and offers significant translational potential for developing precision...
