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

Figure 4

Oviposition activity indices (OAI) of p -cresol at a broad range of concentrations. p-cresol shows a dose dependent oviposition effect on Ae. aegypti gravid females, in which a low concentration (10-10 ppm) is stimulant while higher concentrations (10-8-103 ppm) are deterrent. Each data point represents the mean OAI and standard error of five oviposition cages (n = 5) except for 102 ppm (n = 13).
