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

Figure 5

Oviposition response of Ae. aegypti to different concentrations (individually tested) of m -cresol. At the concentrations 10-1 ppm (a) to 103 ppm (e) m-cresol shows a deterrent effect only at high concentrations; only 103 ppm m-cresol received a statistically significant lower number of eggs than water (P = 0.003, paired t- test). (n = 5 for a, b, c, e; n = 13 for d). Asterisk indicates P < 0.05.
