Mosquitoes are emerging as model systems with which to study innate behaviours through
neuroethology and functional genomics. Decades of work on these disease vectors have …

The exploration of the chemical ecology of oviposition behaviour in mosquitoes provides the
means to describe the role of volatile organic compounds used by gravid mosquitoes to …

Mosquito olfaction is a fascinating object of study, as mosquitoes are adapted to exploit
diverse resources, such as plant-and animal-hosts, as well as oviposition sites in both …

Highlights•Many olfactory cues affect innate and experienced behaviors throughout the
mosquito life cycle.•Larval environment odors are ecologically relevant to both larvae and …

Mosquitoes that act as disease vectors rely upon olfactory cues to direct several important
behaviors that are fundamentally involved in establishing their overall vectorial capacity. Of …

The olfactory organs of blood-feeding mosquitoes are the antennae, maxillary palps and
proboscis. On each of these organs, several morphologically distinct types of multiporous …

There are 3559 species of mosquitoes in the world (Harbach 2018) but, so far, only a
handful of them have been a focus of olfactory neuroscience and neurobiology research …

Haematophagous female mosquitoes differ in their selection of hosts, ranging from
generalists to specialists. Specialist mosquitoes, particularly those that prefer to feed on …

Many biological processes and behaviors in mosquitoes display rhythmic patterns, allowing
for fine tuning to cyclic environmental conditions. In mosquitoes, vector-host interactions are …

In this chapter, we will highlight recent progress in describing the current state of our
understanding of the diverse array of sensory pathways across the family Culicidae. These …
