A Spatial Model of Mosquito Host-Seeking Behavior

Figure 8

Growing odor plume in a large domain.

Mosquitoes of all three plume-finding behaviors ( upwind, downwind, crosswind) near an evolving plume about 45–70 m long. All distances are in meters and only the outermost contour of the plume is shown. Left: The plume after 250 s. The upwind and downwind mosquitoes are already segregating into the upwind and downwind sides of the domain. Right: The same part of the domain after 500 s. The plume is about 2/3 longer and only crosswind mosquitoes remain in the vicinity of the plume.
