Clock genes and environmental cues coordinate Anopheles pheromone synthesis, swarming, and mating
G Wang, J Vega-Rodríguez, A Diabate, J Liu, C Cui… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Anopheles mating is initiated by the swarming of males at dusk followed by females flying
into the swarm. Here, we show that mosquito swarming and mating are coordinately guided …

Male swarming aggregation pheromones increase female attraction and mating success among multiple African malaria vector mosquito species
Accumulating behavioural data indicate that aggregation pheromones may mediate the
formation and maintenance of mosquito swarms. However, chemical cues possibly luring …
