Swarming and pairing behaviors are significant to population dispersal of termites.Tandem running is a key process in pairing behavior of dealates to find a mate.Succinylation can lead to significant changes in protei...
We are grateful to the German Research Foundation(DFG)for funding this research as part of the CRC TRR 212(NC3)-Project number 316099922。
Agricultural pests can develop behavioral resistance to insecticides by choosing to feed or oviposit on insecticide-free hosts.As young larvae have relatively low mobility,oviposition preferences from female adults ma...
Background Understanding of mosquito spatiotemporal dynamics is central to characterize candidate field sites for the sterile insect technique(SIT)testing,and is critical to the effective implementation and evaluation...
Female grasshoppers can affect the fitness of their offspring through their selection of oviposition site. Knowledge of soil type on oviposition, and its effects on subsequent development can provide guidelines for ha...
