Spring is here and so are mosquitoes! @FIUCASE researchers @MattDeGennaro, @AndreSilvaAedes and Kaylee Marrero explain that mosquitoes work together to find suitable egg-laying sites to avoid crowds in @ConversationUS. @Biomolecul90001 Read more: https://t.co/VP3J9bSp7O

Just like parents consult online reviews and share perspectives to find the perfect daycare, mosquitoes surprisingly use smell cues shared among a group to select ideal breeding sites for their offspring. Discover this fascinating behavior in my new paper! https://t.co/q3eMM8Ubk7

Want to control where mosquitoes lay their eggs? We discovered communal cues Aedes aegypti use to manage their population at breeding sites. Time to rethink skip-oviposition. @AndreSilvaAedes #Aedes #FIU

Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes undergo multiple rounds of reproduction, known as gonotrophic cycles. These cycles span the period from blood meal intake to oviposition. Understanding how reproduct...

Can a blood meal can change visual attention in mosquitoes? We show that it can happen. @ElinaBarredo @JoshmanRaji #FIU

Haematophagous mosquitoes need a blood meal to complete their reproductive cycle. To accomplish this, female mosquitoes seek vertebrate hosts, land on them and bite. As their eggs mature, they shift...
