Synopsis
Excerpt from The Olfactory Sense of Insects
Paasch (1873) claims that no nerves coming from the brain lead to the trachea and that the Olfactory organ need not necessarily be connected with the breathing apparatus. He reasons that its location should correspond with that found in higher animals. He found a peculiar plate situated between the eyes and beneath the antenna and extending to the base of the proboscis. This plate possesses a groove whose edges are beset with stiff bristles, and many tracheal branches; it also has nerve connections. This he regards as the Olfactory organ. This plate does not exist in the honey bee.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the collective knowledge of scientists from Aristotle to the present day regarding the presence and location of the olfactory sense in insects. Ancient Greek ideas that insects perceive odors through the mouth are discussed alongside medieval and early modern theories of olfactory receptors within the spiracles, or breathing apparatus. The author explores the shift in scientific consensus toward the antennae as the seat of smell after the first experiments were conducted in the 1800s. The book also analyzes the diversity of structures suggested to fulfill olfactory functions and describes experiments that sought to identify these structures, including the work of the author themselves on honeybees. Ultimately, the book seeks to shed light on the fascinating yet still mysterious nature of olfaction in insects and provides a valuable resource for scientists and anyone interested in the sensory world of insects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332025442_0
