Responses of Python regius to animal chemosensory stimuli: Implications of foraging ecology
… prey may be innate and is not dependent on thermal cues. Chemosensory stimuli appear to be the only stimuli which may indicate to P. regius the metabolic group that a dead prey item at room temperature item may belong to. Snakes were exposed to novel odors from homeothermic and …

Development and evaluation of a thermal model for haptic interfaces
The thermal interaction between the skin and an object is influenced by the thermal properties and initial temperatures of the skin and object, and by the contact force and surface roughness of the contact surfaces. This thermal interaction is modeled in this research which characterizes the …

Exploring Mosquito Thermal Biology and Chemical Ecology in the Context of Host-Seeking and Climate Change
… mosquitoes. The first project focuses on the thermal preference and response to thermal cues of three Culex species which vary in host preference and climate of origin. The second project explores the effects of different rearing temperatures and regions of origin on the thermal performance, …

Multimodal Strategies of Host-Seeking Mosquitoes
… teased apart responses to attractive visual and thermal cues in female Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, uncovering their contributions to host-seeking decisions and distinctions in how they modulate their responses to those cues depending on CO<sub>2</sub>, the most salient cue in human …

VISUAL CUES EFFECTS ON TEMPERATURE PERCEPTION
… that allowed us to control the visual cues of an objects’ temperature and a Peltier thermo-device to provide the tactile temperature stimuli. The results confirmed our initial expectation that participants RTs are longer for incongruent stimuli than congruent stimuli. The results also …

Partitioning along reproductive niche dimensions in sympatric New Zealand freshwater bivalve species
… in reproductive timing identified key thermal cues (particularly accumulated degree days) associated with brooding onset and glochidia maturation in both species. The importance of water temperature suggests that changes in climatic conditions have the potential to cause negative …

Dining in the Dark ATP Sensing in the Female Aedes Aegypti Mosquito
… After being attracted to a human host by sensory cues such as body odor, body heat, and carbon dioxide exhaled in human breath, the mosquito lands and probes under the skin to feed on blood. Probing uses the stylet, a sharp appendage ensheathed in the mosquito labium that punctures the skin and is …
