Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms. Here, they must rely on multiple sensory cues in shaping their individual responses, such as during mate recognition, swarm maintenance, and collision avoidance....

💡Overall, our findings suggest that both acoustic and visual information guide males to track females while avoiding collisions.

✈️ Corroborating these findings, our free-flight analyses within swarms revealed that adjustments in aerodynamic forces effectively helped avoid collisions💥.

👀 Interestingly, visual cues alone significantly altered wingbeat kinematics, suggesting a visually driven mechanism for adjusting aerodynamic thrust.

👩🔬 In our controlled sensory experiments with tethered mosquitoes, we discovered that males are attracted to visual objects simulating a nearby mosquito but only in the presence of a female flight tone. This highlights the role of visual-acoustic integration in mate tracking.

We've long understood that male mosquitoes track female through their distinct flight tones. But how they maneuver in swarms without colliding have remained a mystery - until now🤔.

🆕 preprint alert 🦟. Dive into my latest work with @RiffellLab, @AntCribellier, @floriantm, Serge Poda, Olivier Roux, exploring how mosquitoes navigate complex swarm environments to find mates while avoiding collisions. 🔍.
New pre-print from the lab, led by the amazing @Saumya_Gupta1 ! We found that swarming mosquitoes integrate acoustic and visual information to recognize mates and for collision avoidance—a great collaboration with @floriantm's group and Olivier Roux.
