Insect cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) consist of complex mixtures of straight-chain alkanes
and alkenes, and methyl-branched hydrocarbons. In addition to restricting water loss …

Enemy‐risk effects, often referred to as non‐consumptive effects (NCEs), are an important
feature of predator–prey ecology, but their significance has had little impact on the …

In recent years it has become increasingly clear that chemical interactions play a
fundamental role in aquatic habitats and have far-reaching evolutionary and ecological …

There are 3559 species of mosquitoes in the world (Harbach 2018) but, so far, only a
handful of them have been a focus of olfactory neuroscience and neurobiology research …

Predators can modify population and community dynamics not only through direct predation,
but also through nonconsumptive effects. Predator‐induced changes in the traits of prey …

Background Larval control is of paramount importance in the reduction of malaria vector
abundance and subsequent disease transmission reduction. Understanding larval habitat …

Gravid mosquitoes use chemosensory (olfactory, gustatory, or both) cues to select
oviposition sites suitable for their offspring. In nature, these cues originate from plant …

Cuticular hydrocarbons of insects often consist of complex mixtures of straight chain,
unsaturated and methyl-branched components with 21 to 40+ carbons. They function to …

The global resurgence and emergence of new mosquito-borne diseases and increasing
resistance of mosquitoes to chemical pesticides have prompted renewed interest in …

Oviposition habitat choices of species with aquatic larvae are expected to be influenced by
both offspring risk of mortality due to predation, and offspring growth potential. Aquatic …
