- Title
Oviposition habitat selection by a mosquito in response to a predator: Are predator-released kairomones air-borne cues?
- Authors
Silberbush, Alon; Blaustein, Leon
- Abstract
The article presents an artificial pool experiment designed to test whether the mosquito Culiseta longiareolata can detect the chemical cues from predatory backswimmer Notonecta maculata, without touching the water. It states that five pairs of two oviposition units comprise the experimental design. It shows that Notonecta maculata has reduced oviposition by three mosquitoes.
