Navigational strategies used by insects to find distant, wind-borne sources of odor

RT Cardé, MA Willis - Journal of chemical ecology, 2008 - Springer
Insects locate many resources important to survival by tracking along wind-borne odor
plumes to their source. It is well known that plumes are patchy distributions of high …

Mechanisms of animal navigation in odor plumes

NJ Vickers - The Biological Bulletin, 2000 - journals.uchicago.edu
Chemical signals mediate many of life's processes. For organisms that use these signals to
orient and navigate in their environment, where and when these cues are encountered is …

Spatial and temporal structures of pheromone plumes in fields and forests

J Murlis, MA Willis, RT Cardé - Physiological entomology, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Wind‐borne odour stimuli from a small point‐source of pheromone are intermittent owing to
the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the odour plume. The work reported here measures …

Navigation along windborne plumes of pheromone and resource-linked odors

RT Cardé - Annual Review of Entomology, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Many insects locate resources such as a mate, a host, or food by flying upwind along the
odor plumes that these resources emit to their source. A windborne plume has a turbulent …

Host finding by female mosquitoes: mechanisms of orientation to host odours and other cues

RT Cardé, G Gibson - Olfaction in vector-host interactions, 2010 - brill.com
The mechanisms by which mosquitoes locate their blood hosts are difficult to observe and
analyse under natural conditions, given the small size of these insects, the …

A comparison of odor plume-tracking behavior of walking and flying insects in different turbulent environments

JL Talley, EB White, MA Willis - Journal of Experimental …, 2023 - journals.biologists.com
Many animals locate food, mates and territories by following plumes of attractive odors.
There are clear differences in the structure of this plume-tracking behavior depending on …
