Journal ArticleDOI
Field efficacy of BG-Sentinel and industry-standard traps for Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) and West Nile virus surveillance.
Ary Farajollahi,Banugopan Kesavaraju,Dana C. Price,Gregory M. Williams,Sean P. Healy,Randy Gaugler,Mark P. Nelder +6 more
TL;DR: The BG-Sentinel trap with and without lures provides effective chemical and visual cues for host-seeking Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval Mosquito Habitat Utilization and Community Dynamics of Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae)
Kristen Bartlett-Healy,Isik Unlu,Isik Unlu,Peter J. Obenauer,Tony Hughes,Sean P. Healy,Taryn Crepeau,Ary Farajollahi,Banugopan Kesavaraju,Dina M. Fonseca,George B. Schoeler,Randy Gaugler,Daniel Strickman +12 more
TL;DR: Examination of types and characteristics of containers that are most productive for container-inhabiting mosquitoes in the northeastern United States suggested many variables can influence the presence of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condition-specific competition in container mosquitoes: the role of noncompeting life-history stages
TL;DR: Mortality impinging on noncompeting life cycle stages can alter the population level impact of interspecific competition and the hypothesis that dry conditions shift competitive advantage away from A. albopictus is supported in this experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Behavioral Responses to Water-Borne Cues to Predation in Two Container-Dwelling Mosquitoes.
TL;DR: A. albopictus does not seem to respond behaviorally to cues produced by this predator and may be more vulnerable to predation than is O. triseriatus, which adopts low-risk behaviors in the presence of predation risk from T. rutilus.
Journal Article
Larval feeding behavior of three co-occurring species of container mosquitoes.
TL;DR: Monitoring behavior of mosquitoes in two different food environment treatments suggested that Cx.
