(v. i.) To lay or deposit eggs; -- said esp. of insects.
(v. t.) To deposit or lay (an egg).
Example Sentences:
(1) Ivermectin treatment of all cattle on a badly infected farm failed to interrupt the transmission of P. bovicola, even though ovipositional blood spots were drastically reduced in numbers for an entire summer season following treatment.
(2) The vitelline envelope (VE) that surrounds an egg released from the ovary into the coelom of Xenopus laevis differs markedly, in structure and penetrability, from the VE surrounding an oviposited egg.
(3) Data in relation to evolution cycle, period between emergency of adults and first oviposition, fecundity, fertility, amount of blood ingested and fast resistance, are presented.
(4) Seasonal and habitat influences on the egg-laying activity of four species of Culex were compared in south Florida using jar- and vat-type oviposition traps.
(5) Individual species have different temperature-limits for mating, oviposition and pupation.
(6) Oviposition behavior of infected females is prolonged and mimics that of normal gravid females in their first gonotropic cycle.
(7) Two developmental stages, defined by the time since oviposition, were investigated in eight genetically distinct strains of Drosophila melanogaster.
(8) Oviposition latency (interval between CDCH injection and start of oviposition) is much shorter during the egg laying season than in the nonreproductive period.
(9) The H and L lines were divided into three groups according to shell formation at 0, 15, and 22 h following oviposition.
(10) The distribution of oviposition times in CL showed a great deal of variation among the populations and departed significantly (P less than 0.05) from the uniform rectangular distribution, in all but three populations.
(11) However, in later experiments, mosquitoes recaptured seeking hosts at 48 h after release were in Sella's and Christophers' stages I and II, but parity rates had nearly doubled, indicating that eggs may have developed in less than 48 h and that mosquitoes returned to refeed immediately following oviposition.
(12) The breeding of mosquito larvae in the field is determined by the ovipositing behaviour of the gravid females.
(13) These other fluids included attractive fluid from screwworm-infected wounds (a favored oviposition site in nature) and cultures of Providencia rettgeri (a bacterium implicated in attractant production).
(14) The alfalfa leaf-cutter bee, Megachile rotundata, stops abdominal contractions briefly during oviposition of female eggs but not during oviposition of male eggs.
(15) Ovulation occurred between 1300 and 1700 hr and oviposition was completed between 1700 and 2100 hr daily.
(16) The host cannot encapsulate the parasitoid egg owing to the suppressive effect of the polydnavirus-laden calyx fluid injected by the female parasitoid during oviposition.
(17) Thus, spermatozoa deposited in the vicinity of the USHG immediately following oviposition (to simulate a release of spermatozoa from this region) can be transported to the infundibulum and effectively fertilize the next ovum ovulated.
(18) Humidity had no effect on duration of either the oviposition or the incubation periods.
(19) Besides, the oviposition of the snails and the eggs within snails have also been studied.
