Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
, 2010 In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

New adhesive traps to monitor urban mosquitoes with a case study to assess the efficacy of insecticide control strategies in temperate areas [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Urban mosquitoes in temperate regions may represent a high nuisance and are associated with the risk of arbovirus transmission. Common practices to reduce this burden, at least in Italian highly infested urban areas, imply calendar-based ...

The role of larval density and food availability in life‐history traits of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated the effects of competition (food availability and larval density) on Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) mortality and development. Food had a more pronounced effect on mortality and development time than density, but density had a higher impact on adult size and lifespan.

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the

Free flight of the mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 High speed video observations of free flying male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the dengue and yellow fever vector, along with custom measurement methods, enable measurement of wingbeat frequency, body position and body orientation of mosquitoes during flight. We find these mosquitoes flap their wings at approximately 850 Hz.
