This method of estimating the time of oviposition was modified when Greenberg [J. Med. Entomol. 27 (1990) 807] reported nocturnal oviposition by three calliphorid species that are occasionally used as forensic indicators.
In Northern Italy, an entomological surveillance method implemented during Chikungunya outbreaks drove a massive employment of oviposition traps for monitoring of Aedes mosquitoes in 227 municipalities.
Moreover, the timing of oviposition of these NPFW clearly indicated that the wasps were parasitoids.
Tests of oviposition on cut stems and adult preference in a choice design were also undertaken.
Tadpoles become free-swimming within two weeks of oviposition and typically remain within several meters of the oviposition site.
To estimate oviposition lifespans and ovule selectivity, we fitted a simulation model of oviposition to the seed and gall data.
The date for the start of oviposition was noted, and marks were made daily on the tube to monitor oviposition progress as the female advanced along the tube.
Female mosquitoes can lay from 30 300 eggs per oviposition episode and may have a number of oviposition episodes, depending on age and food requirements.
Knockdown of a mosquito odorant-binding protein involved in the sensitive detection of oviposition attractants.
We used artificial selection to directly assess the evolvability of oviposition preferences.
