P.S.Villar et al. (2026) studied #evolutionary aspects of the #copulatoryorgan in #male #octopuses and describe it as #multifunctional organ that performs two key #functions: the #hectocotylus is a specialized tentacle that delivers #spermatophores into the #female's #mantlecavity. But the authors identified it also as #chemotactile #receptor for #progesterone during #materecognition.

Mosquito taste receptor could lead to new insect repellents

Repellents like DEET are one part of a multi-pronged defense, driving the insects away with unpleasant odors or tastes.

la ciencia puede descubrir receptores milagrosos, pero sin moverse uno sigue pudriéndose igual. El cuerpo necesita acción, no solo pastillas milagrosas.
