Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) is a ubiquitous sensory cue that plays multiple roles in insect behavior. In recent years understanding of the well-known role of CO(2) in foraging by hematophagous insects (e.g., mosquitoes) has grown, and research on the roles of CO(2) cues in the foraging and oviposition behavior of phytophagous insects and in behavior of social insects has stimulated interest in this area of insect sensory biology. This review considers those advances, as well as some of the mechanistic bases of the modulation of behavior by CO(2) and important progress in our understanding of the detection and CNS processing of CO(2) information in insects. Finally, this review briefly addresses how the ongoing increase in atmospheric CO(2) levels may affect insect life.

环境二氧化碳在昆虫生活中的作用和影响。

二氧化碳（CO（2））是一种普遍存在的感觉线索，在昆虫行为中起着多种作用。近年来，人们越来越了解CO（2）在食血昆虫（例如蚊子）觅食中的作用，并且研究了CO（2）线索在食虫性昆虫和食性昆虫的觅食和产卵行为中的作用。社交昆虫的行为引起了昆虫感官生物学领域的兴趣。这篇综述考虑了这些进展，以及通过CO（2）调节行为的一些机制基础，以及我们对昆虫中CO（2）信息的检测和CNS处理的理解的重要进展。最后，本文简要讨论了大气中CO（2）含量的持续增加如何影响昆虫的生活。
