Mosquitoes asses interspecific competition by larvae-released semiochemicals during oviposition habitat selection

The paper shows that female mosquitoes detect semiochemicals from larval competitors to adjust oviposition habitat selection.

Fish microbiota repels ovipositing mosquitoes

This study shows that fish microbiota, specifically Pantoea pleuroti, repels ovipositing mosquitoes, and disrupting this microbiota reduces the repellant effect.

Bacterial mobbing behavior: coordinated communal attack of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on a protozoan predator

This study identifies bacterial mobbing behavior in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing coordinated attack on amoebae through quorum sensing and group coordination.
