Small mosquitoes: large implications—effects of larval crowding and starvation on locomotor activity, adult biting frequency, and insecticide resistance in two strains of Aedes aegypti

Abstract Background Stress during the larval phase of their post-embryonic development can result in reduced-size imagoes in mosquitoes. Water temperature, salinity, food availability, crowding, and predation are factors that affect larval development timing and adult size. In an earlier study we co...
