Mosquito‐bacteria interactions during larval development trigger metabolic changes with carry‐over effects on adult fitness
14 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
In animals with distinct life stages such as holometabolous insects, adult phenotypic variation is often shaped by the environment of immature stages, including their interactions with microbes colonizing larval habitats. Such carry-over effects were previously observed for several adult traits of the mosquito Aedes aegypti after larval exposure to different bacteria, but the mechanistic underpinnings are...
