Aggregation behaviour in Panstrongylus megistus and Triatoma infestans: Inter and intraspecific responses

We tested the aggregation response to inter and intraspecific chemical signals in Panstrongylus megistus and Triatoma infestans. As previously described for T. infestans, larvae of P. megistus significantly aggregated on papers impregnated with their own excrement and on papers marked with cuticular...
