The impact of mating and sugar feeding on blood-feeding physiology and behavior in the arbovirus vector mosquito aedes aegypti
(Public Library of Science, 2021)
Background Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are globally distributed vectors of viruses that impact the health of hundreds of millions of people annually. Mating and blood feeding represent fundamental aspects of mosquito life ...
Contrasting effects of sampling scale on insect herbivores distribution in response to canopy structure
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2013)
Fluctuations in Trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing unit composition in two naturally infected triatomines: Mepraia gajardoi and M. spinolai after laboratory feeding
(Elsevier, 2016)
Mepraia species are hematophagous insects and the most important wild vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease in southeastern South America. Because the domestic Triatoma infestans is already ...
Serotonin depresses feeding behaviour in ants
(Elsevier, 2011-08)
Feeding behaviour is a complex functional system that relies on external signals and the physiological state of the animal. This is also the case in ants as they vary their feeding behaviour according to food characteristics, ...
Terpenos com atividade inseticida: uma alternativa para o controle químico de insetos
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2003-05-01)
Many substances from different sources have been used by men for decades to control insects. After the 2nd World War, the use of inorganic compounds have declined drastically and natural products, as well as synthetic ...

The fossil record of plant-insect interactions and associated entomofaunas in Permian and Triassic floras from southwestern Gondwana: A review and future prospects
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-11)
Plant-insect interactions are among the most common biotic relationships, both in diversity and abundance. The fossil record reflects these associations as damage traces on the leaves, stems or seeds, allowing researchers ...
The role of small woodland remnants on ground dwelling insect conservation in Chaco Serrano, central Argentina
(University of Arizona, 2013-05)
Most terrestrial ecosystems are changing due to extensive land use, with habitat fragmentation being a major threat to biodiversity. We studied the effects of patch size, isolation and edge/interior localization on the ...
Deltamethrin‐induced feeding plasticity in pyrethroid‐susceptible and ‐resistant strains of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais
(Journal of Applied Entomology, 2018)
