The egg and larval pheromone dodecanoic acid mediates density-dependent oviposition of Phlebotomus papatasi

Abstract Background Gravid females assess the conditions of oviposition sites to secure the growth and survival of their offspring. Conspecific-occupied sites may signal suitable oviposition sites but may also impose risk due to competition or cannibalism at high population density or heterogeneous...
