Food generalists are species which showed no strong preference for dung or carrion.
Each study was carried out over a 24-h period with faeces and a 48-h period with carrion.
Uninfected females, in reproductive condition, responded to carrion more often than males and carrion aggregations are often largely composed of females.
I think we are entitled to wonder how desirable that transformation from a carrion-feasting hyena to a mosquito without a sting was.
Furthermore, this work suggests that, if used with sodium sulphide, the stage of carrion bait decomposition does not significantly modify carrion bait attractiveness.
Neither honey baits nor carrion baits attracted bees at 16 stations at 50-m intervals along a 750-m transect in recently abandoned pasture.
No escalated aggression (grappling or biting) was ever observed at carrion or honey baits.
Trials were run over three years, with carrion bait presented in the presence and absence of sodium sulphide.
