Chemosensory Cues for Mosquito Oviposition Site Selection.
Gravid mosquitoes use chemosensory (olfactory, gustatory, or both) cues to select oviposition sites suitable for their offspring. In nature, these cues originate from plant infusions, microbes, mosquito immature stages, and predators. While attractants and stimulants are cues that could show the availability of food (plant infusions and microbes) and suitable conditions (the presence of conspec...

متن کاملPeriodical cicadas use light for oviposition site selection.
Organisms use incomplete information from local experience to assess the suitability of potential habitat sites over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Although ecologists have long recognized the importance of spatial scales in habitat selection, few studies have investigated the temporal scales of habitat selection. In particular, cues in the immediate environment may commonly provi...
متن کاملOviposition habitat selection by a mosquito in response to a predator: are predator-released kairomones air-borne cues?
Chemical cues play an important role in predator-prey interactions in aquatic environments (e.g., Petranka et al. 1987, Dodson et al. 1994, Wisenden 2000). Predator-released kairomones may induce morphological changes in prey (e.g., Laurila et al. 2004, Von-Bert and Stibor 2006), foraging changes by prey (e.g., McCarthy and Dickey 2002, Turner and Montgomery 2003), and behavioral responses of g...
متن کاملPolarized light and oviposition site selection in the yellow fever mosquito: No evidence for positive polarotaxis in Aedes aegypti
Aquatic insects and insects associated with water use horizontally polarized light (i.e., positive polarotaxis) to detect potential aquatic or moist oviposition sites. Mosquitoes lay their eggs onto wet substrata, in water, water-filled tree/rock holes, or man-made small containers/bottles/old tyres containing water. Until now it has remained unknown whether mosquitoes are polarotactic or not. ...
