Learning Classification in the Olfactory System of Insects

We propose a theoretical framework for odor classification in the olfactory system of insects. The classification task is accomplished in two steps. The first is a transformation from the antennal lobe to the intrinsic Kenyon cells in the mushroom body. This transformation into a higher-dimensional space is an injective function and can be implemented without any type of learning at the synapti...

Diversity and Abundance of Insects in Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria

A field survey was conducted in Wukari, Taraba State to assess the diversity and abundance of insect species in selected habitats (residential, open field made up of grassland and an agroecosystem). Sampling were done biweekly using light, pitfall and yellow pan traps set in 3 replicates, 30 m apart. Insects recovered were wet preserved in 70% ethanol except butterflies and moths. Representativ...
