The environment, directly and indirectly, affects many mosquito traits in both the larval and
adult stages. The availability of food resources is one of the key factors influencing these …

It has long been recognized that the environment experienced by parents can influence the
traits of offspring (ie 'parental effects'). Much research has explored whether mothers …

Background Improving the knowledge and understanding of the environmental determinants
of malaria vector abundance at fine spatiotemporal scales is essential to design locally …

The environmental conditions experienced by parents influence next generations, with the
parental nutritional status playing an important role in shaping offspring phenotypes. Our …

Mosquitoes pose an increasing risk in urban landscapes, where spatial heterogeneity in
juvenile habitat can influence fine-scale differences in mosquito density and biting activity …

Laboratory rearing procedures of Culicoides stellifer Coquillett (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)
were evaluated with an aim towards colonization of this species. Eggs collected from field …

Extreme warming events can profoundly alter the transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne
diseases by affecting mosquito life-history traits (eg survival, growth and reproduction). At …

Experimental approaches to studying life-history traits in minute herbivorous arthropods are
hampered by the need to work with detached host plant material and the difficulty of …

Given the importance of Aedes aegypti as an arbovirus vector, understanding the impact of
population density during larval development is fundamental to improve control methods …

Species interactions that influence the performance of the exotic mosquito Culex pipiens can
have important effects on the transmission risk of West Nile virus (WNV). Invasive plants that …
