Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Oviposition and behavioral responses of Culex quinquefasciatus to skatole and synthetic oviposition pheromone in Tanzania

, 2000
Studies on the behavioral and oviposition responses of Culex quinquefasciatus to 3-methylindole or skatole (an oviposition site cue) and (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (the synthetic oviposition pheromone, SOP) were conducted in Muheza, northeast ...

Effects of environmental temperature on oviposition behavior in three blow fly species of forensic importance [PDF]

, 2017
A number of factors are known to affect blow fly behavior with respect to oviposition. Current research indicates that temperature is the most significant factor.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Effects of nitrogen nutrient on the behavior of feeding and oviposition of the brown planthopper, Nilarpavata lugens, on IR64

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2005
We determined the preferences of feeding and oviposition of the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, to rice plants of IR64 with different nitrogen content, the changes in preferences of BPH populations fed successively on plants with high (200N)

Oviposition experience affects oviposition preference in Drosophila melanogaster

iScience
Learning, memorizing, and recalling of potential ovipositing sites can influence oviposition preference. Classical conditioning experiments have shown that vinegar flies can learn the association of olfactory, gustatory, or visual stimuli with either positive or negative unconditioned stimuli.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Ovipositional responses of tortricid moths to sugars, salts and neem oil

Scientific Reports
Oviposition is essential in the life history of insects and is mainly mediated by chemical and tactile cues present on the plant surface. Oviposition deterrents or stimulants can modify insect oviposition and be employed in pest control.
