Mosquito oviposition deterrents

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017
Mosquitoes are well-known vectors of disease and threaten the health of millions of people annually. While synthetic insecticides have been relied on to combat these diseases, insecticide resistance and environmental concerns have directed attention towards novel and more targeted mosquitocides derived from botanicals.

Oviposition site preference inDrosophila

Behavior Genetics, 1979
Comparative studies of oviposition site preference (OSP) in Drosophila suggest that choice of oviposition site is an important adaptive behavior which influences individual fitness and the potential of populations for speciation. OSP has been investigated under conditions which provided females with a choice of standard medium or medium containing ...

Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Oviposition Behavior in Previous Oviposition Situation

Neotropical Entomology, 2016
Blowflies use their sense of smell to locate oviposition substrates and their vision to direct and assist in landing decision. Blowflies' ovipositions are usually aggregated. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) females, for example, prefer to lay eggs on substrates containing fresh eggs of the same species.

Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors

Parasitology Today, 1995
Oviposition aggregation pheromones occur in a range of insect groups including Diptera, where they mediate oviposition in four different families of disease vectors. In this paper, Philip McCall and Mary Cameron discuss the selection pressures favouring oviposition pheromones and speculate on their potential applications in disease monitoring and ...

Oviposition-site mimicry

2016
AbstractOf all the floral mimicry systems covered in this book, oviposition-site mimicry is probably the most widespread (in terms of geography and the number of plant species and lineages represented) and the most diverse (in terms of floral signals). It is also the most under-appreciated system of floral mimicry and is certainly less well known than ...

Regulation of Oviposition

1996
The laying of hard-shelled eggs (oviposition) by all birds and certain reptiles is a pivotal step in reproduction and in the successful survival of these species. The regulation of oviposition, not unlike that of parturition in mammals, is under the influence of multiple factors.
