Tarsal Contact Chemosensory Hairs of the Large White Butterfly Pieris Brassicae and Their Possible Role in Oviposition Behavior

    Ma Chun, L. M. Schoonhoven
    Studysummary In this study, the researchers found that female Pieris brassicae butterflies have more "B-type" chemoreceptory hairs on their forelegs, which may be involved in selecting oviposition sites through detecting mustard oil glucosides.
