Short-term particulate matter contamination severely compromises insect antennal olfactory perception

Abstract The consequences of sub-lethal levels of ambient air pollution are underestimated for insects, for example, the accumulation of particulate matter on sensory receptors located on their antennae may have detrimental effects to their function. Here we show that the density of particulate matt...
