Visual threats reduce blood-feeding and trigger escape responses in aedes aegypti mosquitoes

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Nicole E. Wynne from the DepartmentState University have published the research: Visual threats reduce blood-feeding and trigger escape responses in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The authors provide an experimental paradigm that permits the presentation of visual cues in isolation from mechanical perturbations. For all the experiments, 6-8 days old female mosquitoes were used.
• how: For the analysis the authors used a Generalized Linear Model assuming a quasibinomial error distribution for the proportion of feeding and a Poisson error distribution for the number of . . .
