At dusk, males congregate in monospecific swarms in which females come to find a mate once in their lives. Although many Anopheles species coexist in sympatry, hybrids are infrequent, suggesting the existence of strong premating often play a crucial role in bringing sexes together in a speciesspecific manner among insects. While the existence of sexual pheromones in Anopheles species has been postulated, only a few studies developed experimental designs to investigate their presence. Here, we discuss the contrasting and debatable findings regarding both long-range and contact sex pheromones in the context of swarm ecology in Anopheles species. specialized 052 020 64 101227 [ p.] 2024 2214-5745 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010091077 10.1016/j.cois.2024.101227 2214-5745 [F B010091077] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010091077 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2024-08/010091077.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2024-08-28 2025-11-06 fdi:010091077 fre
