Sexual selection theory meets disease vector control: Testing harmonic convergence as a “good genes” signal in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2020-10-29

Abstract excerpt

The mosquito Aedes aegypti is a medically important, globally distributed vector of the viruses that cause dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Zika. Although reproduction and mate choice are key components of vector population dynamics and control, our understanding of the mechanisms of sexual selection in mosquitoes remains poor. In “good genes” models of sexual selection, females use male cues as an indicato...
