Using a female-specific isoform of <i>doublesex</i> to explore male-specific hearing in mosquitoes

2025-03-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Animal reproduction relies on elaborate divisions of labour and multiple dimorphisms between the sexes. Primary dimorphisms affect core elements of reproduction, secondary dimorphisms affect more indirect traits, including complex behaviours. In disease-transmitting mosquitoes, males locate females acoustically prior to copulation (phonotaxis). No comparable acoustic behaviour is known for female...
