Sex-linked pheromone receptor genes of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, are in tandem arrays.
BACKGROUND: Tuning of the olfactory system of male moths to conspecific female sex pheromones is crucial for correct species recognition; however, little is known about the genetic changes that drive speciation in this system. Moths of the genus Ostrinia are good models to elucidate this question, s...
