Swallowtail Butterflies Use Multiple Visual Cues to Select Oviposition Sites
Insects, 2021 Flower-foraging Japanese yellow swallowtail butterflies, Papilio xuthus, exhibit sophisticated visual abilities. When ovipositing, females presumably attempt to select suitable leaves to support the growth of their larval offspring.

Butterfly fitness under changing food qualities [PDF]
, 2014 The present thesis investigates how different food qualities over the whole life cycle and across generations affect butterfly development and reproduction, and addresses the following main questions: (1) What effects have varying nitrogen ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Fine‐scale population variables better explain roadkill patterns in natterjack toads (Epidalea calamita) than habitat proxies, with mortality driven mainly by local abundance, reduced by roadside embankments, and decreasing as the season advanced. Despite high roadkills, population viability analyses indicate no immediate extinction risk under current ...

A note on the mosquito oviposition pheromone
, 1989 Mosquitoes of the genus Culex, e.g. Culex quinquefasciatus, release a volatile pheromone from their eggs that induces gravid females to oviposit around the pheromone source.

Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs
Oikos, EarlyView.Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

Feeding-induced rearrangement of green leaf volatiles reduces moth oviposition
eLife, 2013 The ability to decrypt volatile plant signals is essential if herbivorous insects are to optimize their choice of host plants for their offspring. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) constitute a widespread group of defensive plant volatiles that convey a ...

Deposition and longevity of oviposition-deterring pheromone in the cabbage seed weevil
, 1991 The cabbage seed weevil (Ceutorhynchus assimilis Payk.) lays eggs singly into pods of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) through punctures bored with the mouthparts, preferring pods not recently used for oviposition.
