Studies showing clear experimental demonstration for associative or non-associative learning in haematophagous insects

Insects Context Type of learning Refs

Mosquitoes Feeding (visual and olfactory cues) Associative learning [13]
Responses to odors Associative learning [15-18]

Kissing bugs Aversive responses to plant odors Non associative [22]
Responses to alarm pheromone Non associative and associative [31]
Responses to olfactory cues Associative pavlovian learning [25-27]
Responses to thermal cues Associative operant learning [28]
Circadian modulation of learning Associative operant learning [29]
