From: Gravid females of the mosquito Aedes aegypti avoid oviposition on m-cresol in the presence of the deterrent isomer p-cresol

Figure 6

Oviposition response of Ae. aegypti to different concentrations (concentration choice test) of p -cresol and m -cresol. a) Response to water and 10-1 ppm, 1 ppm and 10 ppm of p-cresol were not statistically different (n = 5). b) Response to water and 10 ppm, 102 ppm and 103 ppm of p-cresol showed that increasing concentrations were increasingly deterrent (n = 5). c) Response to water and 10-1 ppm, 1 ppm and 10 ppm of m-cresol (n = 5) shows no deterrent effect of m-cresol. d) Response to water and 10 ppm, 102 ppm and 103 ppm of m-cresol (n = 5) shows a deterrent effect at high concentrations. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences. Pairwise t-test with Holm correction.
