External antenna morphology of six males and six females was characterized using optical microscopy (microscope: H550 S 10X Nikon; camera: Ds-Fi2, Nikon). We combined these results on the antenna of Ur. lowii with published studies on four mosquito species that use acoustic cues for mating (Göpfert and Robert, 2000 (link); Simões et al., 2016 (link), 2017 (link); Staunton et al., 2020 (link); Su et al., 2018 (link)), to create a comparative framework of morphological and mechanical features of the antenna across mosquito species.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
