Early attainment of 20-hydroxyecdysone threshold shapes mosquito sexual dimorphism in developmental timing

Abstract In holometabolous insects, critical weight (CW) attainment triggers pupation and metamorphosis, but its mechanism remains unclear in non-model organisms like mosquitoes. Here, we investigate the role of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in CW assessment and pupation timing in Aedes albopictus and Ae...
