  • Title: Effects of larval density and feeding rates on larval life history traits in Anopheles gambiae s.s. (Diptera: Culicidae).
    Author: Jannat KN, Roitberg BD.
    Journal: J Vector Ecol; 2013 Jun; 38(1):120-6. PubMed ID: 23701616.
    Abstract:
    Mosquito larval habitat determines the fitness, survivorship, fecundity, and vector capacity of emerging adults. We manipulated larval density and food provisioning in the laboratory to determine their effects on a number of life history parameters of Anopheles gambiae. Larval mortality was positively correlated with larval density. In addition, increased density skewed sex ratios that favored females.
