Oviposition Behavior in Lepidoptera
Annual Review of Entomology, 1994The expanding field of insect-plant relationships has long focused on the process by which phytophagous insects find and accept their host plants. Since Thorsteinson's classic review (151), significant advances have been made in explaining behavioral and sensory mechanisms by which insects recognize their hosts and reject unsuitable plants. Much of our

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.

Oviposition Behavior and the Existence of an Oviposition-deterring Pheromone in Hylemya1
Environmental Entomology, 1979Evidence is presented demonstrating that the regular distribution observed in larvae and eggs of Hylemya sp. (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) is due to an oviposition-deterring pheromone. The pheromone is secreted at the time of oviposition and is associated with the egg. Females actively search for this pheromone before deciding whether to oviposit.

Oviposition Pheromones in Haematophagous Insects
2010Pheromones influencing oviposition behavior in females of haematophagous insects have been the interest of recent past by many group of scientists working on oviposition pheromones. Finding and choosing a good site for oviposition is a challenging task for females of haematophagous insects, especially in those insects which does not have the parental ...

Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors
Parasitology Today, 1995Oviposition 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 ...

Premature Oviposition in the Hen [PDF]
Nature, 1953 IT has been reported recently1 that after various operations on the albumen-secreting region of the hen's oviduct, oviposition ceased almost entirely. This failure to lay was taken as evidence of a failure to ovulate and was attributed to inhibition at the pituitary gland by direct nervous stimulation from the oviduct.

Aggregation by Ovipositing Mansonioides Mosquitoes1
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1970Egg masses of Mansonia ( Mansonioides ) uniformis were laid on the underside of floating leaves of water lilies, water fern and grasses in a swamp at Maha Induruwa in Ceylon. The leaves of the water lilies were mapped in an area of about 1.5 m2 and the distribution of egg masses on leaves and the contribution of new egg masses overnight were recorded ...

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the oviposition behavior. Oviposition behavior comprises one of the final steps in insect reproduction. It involves the deposition of the mature egg outside the body of the female and includes a series of behavioral and physiological events that begin with the movement of the egg through the oviduct and end ...

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.

OVIPOSITING IN THE GENUS ARGYNNIS
The Canadian Entomologist, 1892I wish to make a contribution to the literature of the subject of “egg dropping,” and place on record in an entomological journal an observation I made nine years ago. I do this with the object of calling general attention to this subject, which I think an interesting one, and in hope that lepidopterists may be on the look out for this method of ...
