- reneberlin 8y agoThank you for the direct link submitted. And yes, I admit: yeah - fck else virus
- sorenn111 8y agoDo you have a general technique for finding full papers? I often find myself at such a crossroad
- tnzn 8y agoCopy url to sci hub, simple as that. Or contact one of the authors.
- keepper 8y agoIt's official, mosquitos rather face extinction than listen to "Brostep"[1]... I heard ya little guys.. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep#Brostep_and_American_developments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep#Brostep_and_American_d...

- reneberlin 8y agoHaving sex in the rave-family from the electronic scene in berlin of the 90s is still worth a minute to remember (at 250bpm), of course.
- reneherse 8y agoNot the best day to post a headline like this one :)
- SubiculumCode 8y agoWhy?
- thatswrong0 8y agoBecause it sounds like an April fools joke
- SubiculumCode 8y agoMan im so out if it. Had flu all week, barely know the date.

- amelius 8y ago> The observation that such music can delay host attack, reduce blood feeding, and disrupt mating provides new avenues for the development of music-based personal protective and control measures against Aedes-borne diseases. And what about the effects of noise pollution on insect populations?
- RPLong 8y agoNever mind that. How about the effects of noise pollution on the human populations?
- nimbius 8y agoIm not much into the kids music these days, but I looked this one up on Youtube and I'll admit, if i had to listen to it, I'd reconsider coitus as well.
- AndyKelley 8y agoIf you think that's something, try the Noisia remix. The Noisia remix makes the original sound like elevator music. It's a shame the paper didn't mention whether the Noisia remix had any effect on Aedes aegypti compared to the original :-)
- Scoundreller 8y agoI wonder how well Knife Party would do.

- teilo 8y agoI am into good (read that, musical, non-repetitive, not mindlessly derivative) electronic music, and can't agree more. I tried to like Skrillex. I don't get it.
- mrguyorama 8y agoI prefer dancy and melodic electronic music, and tend to dislike drum-and-bass and dubstep, yet there was a short (several month) period where Skrillex caught me. In the 7 minute songs, it had just enough of the qualities that fit me
- zeroxfe 8y agoI would love some recommendations.
- colecut 8y agoRelaxing: Emancipator, Phaeleh, Submotion Orchestra Worldly: Thievery Coporation, Thunderball Midtempo Pretty Lights, The Polish Ambassador, Defunk, most people who were on a PLMovement podcast (https://soundcloud.com/plmovement https://soundcloud.com/plmovement) Melodic DnB: High Contrast, Nu:tone, Calibre Trippy Bass: Tipper, AtYya
- zoeysaurusrex 8y agoWeird, it causes the same reaction in humans...
- mrguyorama 8y agoYou seem to be ignoring the rave scene
- RPLong 8y agoAlways a smart move.
- whymsicalburito 8y agoMaybe this is the real reason they moved the Ultra Music Festival to Virginia Key haha
- indentit 8y agoThe article didn't mention anything about the volume at which they played the music. It'd be interesting to know because I live next to a lake and could benefit from less feeding mosquitoes!
- stcredzero 8y agoSolar power this, and it would be even more environmentally friendly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEsQ4_KiBWQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEsQ4_KiBWQ
- fhbdukfrh 8y agoNot from a noise pollution perspective :)
- stcredzero 8y agoIn the city, I find the noise of a fan relaxing.
- creaghpatr 8y agoYour neighbors will hate Scary Monsters Nice Sprites as much as mosquitos do. T. tested the concept in college
- kfarr 8y agoYeah this whole thing depends on volume. Obviously mosquitoes don't "listen" to music the same way we do. So effectively electronic dance music at a large volume becomes pulsating waves of air pressure. Relative to their size this could be quite disturbing if not destructive. A similar article written for humans might be "large scale detonations at close range results in blast waves which reduce reproduction in humans"
- bunderbunder 8y agoI don't always look for the publication date before I skim the abstract, but...
- aaron695 8y agoOT: Skrillex Quest was an amazing(IMO) bit of art / computer game made for this. http://jasonoda.com/v11/skrillexquest.html http://jasonoda.com/v11/skrillexquest.html It was a short play through and got me into Skrillex. Never seen anything like it since.
- pvaldes 8y agoOn the other hand, earworms reproduction is explosive in presence of electronic music. You can't have all.
- maltalex 8y agoLink to the music in question (Skrillex - Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw You know, for science.
