Choice of Oviposition Site by Gray Treefrogs: the Role of Potential Parasitic Infection
The role of potential infection by parasitic trematodes in the choice of oviposition site choice by gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor, was examined in a randomized experiment using 25 experimental pools. Treatment pools containing low (five snails) or high (10 snails) densities of either infected or uninfected trematode vector Pseudosuccinea columella were compared with control pools containing n...
متن کاملChemosensory Cues for Mosquito Oviposition Site Selection.
Gravid mosquitoes use chemosensory (olfactory, gustatory, or both) cues to select oviposition sites suitable for their offspring. In nature, these cues originate from plant infusions, microbes, mosquito immature stages, and predators. While attractants and stimulants are cues that could show the availability of food (plant infusions and microbes) and suitable conditions (the presence of conspec...
متن کاملChoice alters Drosophila oviposition site preference on menthol
Food choice and preference relies on multiple sensory systems that are under the control of genes and sensory experience. Exposure to specific nutrients and nutrient-related molecules can change food preference in vertebrates and invertebrates. For example, larval exposure of several holometabolous insects to menthol can change their adult response to this molecule. However, studies involving D...
متن کاملGene-Environment Interplay on Oviposition Site Selection in Drosophila melanogaster
The underlying mechanisms of decision-making behaviour are poorly understood. Oviposition site selection (OSS) in the Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly provides a useful system for studying simple decision-making. OSS is influenced by both genetic and environmental variation. Variation of the foraging gene (for) is known to affect OSS. Given a choice of highand low-nutrient oviposition sites, g...
متن کاملPeriodical cicadas use light for oviposition site selection.
Organisms use incomplete information from local experience to assess the suitability of potential habitat sites over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Although ecologists have long recognized the importance of spatial scales in habitat selection, few studies have investigated the temporal scales of habitat selection. In particular, cues in the immediate environment may commonly provi...
