Fig. 2From: Assessing the acoustic behaviour of Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) dsxF mutants: implications for vector controlMales show a strong preference for acoustic stimuli of similar frequency to wildtype female flight tones; this phonotactic response is reduced as the tone becomes increasingly different. a Diagram of phonotaxis experimental set-up: Single-sex virgin cages were provided with one-minute periods of stimulation in the form of three pure tones (100, 400 and 700 Hz) or a one-minute period of silence. The number of mosquitoes attracted to the sound source for each type of stimulus was calculated. b Adjusted proportion of mosquitoes responding to each stimulus type (no stimulus, 100 Hz, 400 Hz and 700 Hz, respectively) for XX and XY mosquitoes from each genotype. Centre circle, median; error bars represent ± SEM. c Adjusted proportion of control mosquitoes responding to each stimulus type (380 Hz, 432 Hz and 497 Hz, respectively) for dsxF+/+ XY mosquitoes.
