The simulated presence of conspecifics has been proposed to attract territorial songbirds to protect nesting areas when the habitat is being disturbed by human activities. We studied the effects of conspecifics on the ...

In spite of extensive evidence showing an association between host stimuli and insect finding behaviour, the importance of carbon dioxide in attracting Triatominae is not entirely understood. We assessed the potential of ...

The movements of individuals – at almost any scale – are likely to depend on the behaviour of conspecifics. As an example, the movements of dispersing juveniles and their settling decisions may depend on the availability ...

In mosquitoes, location of suitable sites foroviposition requires a set of visual, tactile, and olfactory cues that influencesfemales before laying their eggs. The ability of gravid females to distinguishamong potential ...

We investigated pupa distributions of D. simulans, D. buzzatii, D. melanogaster, D. immigrans and D. hydei on a number of natural breeding sites. Pupae of all five species showed aggregated distributions, which prompted ...
