| flight behavior of adult culicoides oxystoma and culicoides maculatus under different temperatures in the laboratory. | the flight behavior of adult culicoides biting midges is associated with their likelihood to reach nearby host animals and spread diseases. therefore, evaluating the effects of atmospheric factors on the flight performances of these insects is important for understanding the spread of diseases in various circumstances. we evaluated the effects of different temperatures on the flight behavior of culicoides oxystoma and culicoides maculatus under laboratory conditions. the flight activities for bo ... | 2011 | 20852889 |
| effects of rearing temperature on length of larval period and size of adults in culicoides arakawae and culicoides maculatus (dipteria:ceratopogonidae). | effects of rearing temperature on the duration of larval period and the wing lengths of adults were studied in a laboratory strain of culicoides arakawae and in wild-caught c. maculatus fed cultured nematodes of rhabditis elongata as diets on agar medium. larvae of each species responded differently to rearing temperature. so that the larval development of c. arakawae adapted to high temperature and of c. maculatus to low temperature. low temperature increased the duration of larval period consi ... | 1982 | 7186612 |
