This study shows Rdl resistance mutations in mosquitoes enhance auditory function and mating success, contributing to their persistence in urban environments.

The paper reveals how male mosquitoes generate audible distortion tones from inaudible high-frequency sounds to detect female flight tones in noisy environments.

The paper investigates sex-specific hearing in mosquitoes by analyzing the role of a female-specific isoform of the doublesex gene and its impact on auditory function.

This study identifies the octopamine beta2 receptor as a target to disrupt mosquito reproduction but shows that amitraz, an agonist, is ineffective as a mating disruptor.

This study investigates the role of GABA and its receptor RDL in the auditory system of malaria mosquitoes, revealing mechanical and electrical effects on auditory sensitivity and mating behavior.

The paper investigates how octopamine and its receptors modulate hearing function in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, identifying cAMP as a mediator and showing no link between hair erection and frequency tuning.

The paper identifies octopamine as a regulator of mosquito hearing during swarm time and shows it can be targeted by insecticides.

The paper shows male Anopheles mosquitoes enhance female audibility by adjusting their flight tones at dusk, leveraging circadian rhythms for synchronized mating.
