Oviposition preference and offspring performance in container breeding mosquitoes: evaluating the effects of organic compounds and laboratory colonisation
21 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
1. The preference–performance hypothesis ( PPH ) predicts that organisms lacking parental care should oviposit in habitats that optimise offspring performance. Preference–performance relationships were investigated for the A sian tiger mosquito ( A edes albopictus S kuse) and the southern house mosquito ( C ulex quinquefasciatus S ay) ( D iptera: C ulicidae), two medically important container‐breeding species, in...
