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.
蚊子幼虫的栖息地决定了羽化后成虫的健康状况、存活率、繁殖力和传播能力。我们在实验室中控制幼虫密度并提供食物,以确定它们对冈比亚按蚊一些生活史参数的影响。幼虫死亡率与幼虫密度呈正相关。此外,密度增加使性别比例向有利于雌性的方向倾斜。
