Identification of volatile components from oviposition and non-oviposition plants of Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae). [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractOviposition by Gasterophilus pecorum on shoot tips of Stipa caucasica is a key determinant of its severe infection of the reintroduced Przewalski’s horse (Equus przewalskii). Volatiles in shoots of grasses on which Przewalski’s horse feeds, including S. caucasica at preoviposition, oviposition, and postoviposition stages of G.

Oviposition site selection by Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) in its habitat in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Parasite, 2015
Oviposition site selection is an important aspect of the behavioural ecology of insects. A comparison of the habitats used by a species enhances our understanding of their adaptation to altered environments.
