Stress tolerance of bed bugs: A review of factors that cause trauma to Cimex lectularius and C. hemipterus. Insects 2: 151172.

A review of the literature concerning the different kinds of stresses that bed bugs encounter including dehydration, high humidity, temperature extremes, blood feeding, traumatic insemination (mating), microbial infections, and pesticide exposure. Their ability to resist stressful conditions has led to their expansion and proliferation.

Domingue, M. J., M. Kramer, and M. F. Feldlaufer. 2010.

Sexual dimorphism of arrestment and gregariousness in the bed bug (Cimex lectularius) in response to cuticular extracts from nymphal exuviae. Physiological Entomology 35: 203213.

Researchers described bed bug gregariousness and arrestment behavior (settling near the odor source) in response to chemical extracts from the shed skins (exuviae) of other bed bugs (conspecifics). Adult males and females exhibited different behaviors. Adult males settled near the extracts from fifth stage nymphs, whereas adult females grouped together without any tendency to assemble near the odor source.
