Oviposition Strategies in Beneficial Insects [PDF]

International Journal of Insect Science, 2018
AIMS AND SCOPE: The aim of this special collection is to highlight the importance of reproduction (ie, oviposition) in the life history, population dynamics, survival, and fitness of beneficial insects, broadly defined. Specific areas of interest include the (1) identification of natural products to boost oviposition; (2) importance of chemical cues ...

Is oviposition time and oviposition interval associated with the deposition of cuticle on the hen’s egg? [PDF]

British Poultry Science
1. The cuticle acts as a barrier to prevent microbial penetration of the eggshell. The reduction in the oviposition interval with selection for egg production and the activity of clock genes in the oviduct led to testing the hypothesis that the interval between successive oviposition of eggs would be related to the deposition of the cuticle. 2.

Novel use of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) as a tool for isolation of oviposition site attractants for gravid Culex quinquefasciatus [PDF]

, 2009
Mosquitoes such as Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) are important vectors of organisms that cause disease in humans. Research into the development of effective standardized odour baits for blood-fed females (oviposition attractants), to ...

Impacts of belowground herbivory on oviposition decisions in two congeneric butterfly species [PDF]

, 2010
Root-feeding insects can affect the performance of aboveground insect herbivores when they are forced to feed on the same host plant. Here we explored whether the oviposition behaviour of two closely related herbivorous species (cabbage butterflies ...

Intestinal Immune Deficiency and Juvenile Hormone Signaling Mediate a Metabolic Trade-off in Adult Drosophila Females

Metabolites, 2023
A trade-off hypothesis pertains to the biased allocation of limited resources between two of the most important fitness traits, reproduction and survival to infection.

Evaluation of the influence of electric nets on the behaviour of oviposition site seeking Anopheles gambiae s.s [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Electric nets (e-nets) are used to analyse the flight behaviour of insects and have been used extensively to study the host-oriented flight of tsetse flies. Recently we adapted this tool to analyse the oviposition behaviour of gravid malaria

Tetranychus urticae changes its oviposition pattern in the presence of the predatory mites, Phytoseiulus persimilis and Typhlodromus bagdasarjani

Acta Biologica, 2019
Oviposition behaviors in herbivorous mites are affected by several factors i.e. food availability for juveniles and reduced predation risks. We used the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Tetranychidae) to find out whether the previous ...

Protein- and Carbohydrate-Rich Supplements in Feeding Adult Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens) Affect Life History Traits and Egg Productivity

Life, 2023
The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (BSF; Diptera: Stratiomyidae), has come into the focus of research over the past decade since its larvae are polyphagous feeders with an exceptional substrate range, making them a promising candidate for the ...

Stable Flies, Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae), Improve Offspring Fitness by Avoiding Oviposition Substrates With Competitors or Parasites

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Oviposition site selection by gravid female insects is an important determinant in species distribution, abundance, and population dynamics. Females may assess the suitability of a potential oviposition substrate by using cues from conspecific or ...

OVIPOSITION OF BIBIO FEMORATA, WIED., AND OVIPOSITING FEMALES [PDF]

The Canadian Entomologist, 1905
On the morning of March 24th, 1904, at 9 o'clock, in the town of Paris, Texas, many dark-coloured flies were noticed crawling over the trunks and lower limbs of two adjacent box elder trees (Negundo species). They proved to be the above species.
