  1. Calliphorid Hygrosensation Perception and the Effect of Humidity on Oviposition Behavior

    Moctar, Khadija2025

    … conditions, such as humidity, have inhibited oviposition. While the effects of temperature on blow fly behavior are well established, humidity remains less understood. This research examined the oviposition behavior of Phormia regina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) under varying humidity levels …

  3. Influence of Detritus Levels and Organic Pollution on Interspecific Resource Competition, Oviposition Behavior, and Larval Survival of Two Tire-Inhabiting Mosquito Species (Diptera: Culicidae)

    Allgood, David Wayne2016

    … chemicals associated with organic pollution on oviposition preferences and larval survival of both species, and the effects of resource limitation, interspecific density, and chemical pollution on interspecific competition between both species. I conducted field oviposition bioassays in tires …

    Scala, MaricaUniversità degli studi di Trento2023

    … potential impact on non-target species, the behaviors of these exotic parasitoids were also tested on the traces of the cosmopolitan stink bug Nezara viridula. The exposure of singular female parasitoids to contact kairomones of both pests elicited modifications in orthokinetic and locomotory …

    Schelble, Stephanie Sue2014

    … under differing depth and larvae densities. Oviposition studies showed that <em>Ae. albopictus </em>had a preference for deeper habitats (χ<sup>2</sup>= 14.2902, p= 0.0139) but did not prefer any surface areas (χ<sup>2</sup>= 7.2321, p= 0.0649) though there was a trend that indicated that …
