Food odors trigger Drosophila males to deposit a pheromone that guides aggregation and female oviposition decisions

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Animals use olfactory cues for navigating complex environments. Food odors in particular provide crucial information regarding potential foraging sites.

Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee) oviposition preferences on maize (Zea mays Linn), king grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.), and cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica (L.)

open access: yesJurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2020
Insects’ oviposition behavior on alternate host plants is very helpful to understand the interaction between host plants and insects, the dynamics of insect populations, and the effectiveness of alternate host plants as refugia in managing insect ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Chemical Cues for Malaria Vectors Oviposition Site Selection:\ud Challenges and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The attractiveness of oviposition site for malaria vector mosquitoes is dependent upon a number of physical and chemical factors. Many aspects of mosquito behavior, including host location and oviposition, are mediated by volatile semiochemicals.

Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

Embryogenesis in Myrmicine Ants Combines Features of Short Germ‐Band Development With a Progressive Mode of Segmentation

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

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

open access: yesScientific 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.
