chemicals of predatory mosquitofish (gambusia affinis) influence selection of oviposition site by culex mosquitoes.	ovipositing insects may avoid aquatic sites where there is high predation risk to their offspring, but the proximate mechanisms that mediate avoidance behavior are poorly resolved. we conducted an experiment to determine whether mosquitoes would reduce oviposition rates in pools containing chemicals of the mosquitofish (gambusia affinis), a voracious predator that is widely employed to control mosquitoes. experimental treatments consisted of outdoor pools that contained known concentrations of f ...	2002	12035927
composition and adult activity of salt-marsh mosquitoes attracted to 1-octen-3-ol, carbon dioxide, and light in topsail island, north carolina.	by monitoring weekly for 3 months with centers for disease control (cdc) light traps baited with carbon dioxide (co2) and light, 12 species of mosquitoes were collected from salt-marsh areas in topsail island, north carolina: aedes vexans, anopheles atropos, an. bradleyi, an. crucians, an. punctipennis, culex pipiens, cx. restrans, cx. salinarius, ochlerotatus sollicitans, oc. taeniorhynchus, oc. infirmatus, and uranotaenia sapphirina. the hourly activities of common salt-marsh mosquitoes, namel ...	2003	12825671
