... mosquitoes of Culex pipiens possess at least eight groups of auditory neurons that are distinct in their frequency tuning, with individual frequencies ranging from 85 to 470 Hz. Most of the neurons are tuned to 190–270 Hz, which corresponds to the difference between male and female flight tones. Axons...

Denlinger SUMMARY In this study of the mosquito, Culex pipiens , we examined the impact of multiple bouts of dehydration and rehydration on survival, depletion of metabolic reserves and egg production...

...Joshua B. Benoit; David L. Denlinger SUMMARY One of the major challenges of overwintering in the mosquito, Culex pipiens , is prevention of dehydration. In this study, we compare the water balance requirements of nondiapausing and diapausing adult females of C . pipiens . Although their percentage...

...John Brackenbury ABSTRACT High-speed videography was used to investigate swimming kinematics and locomotory trajectories during escape responses in the pupa of Culex pipiens (Diptera, Culicidae). The pupa can perform straight-line motion despite undergoing backward and forward somersaults through...
