Small females prefer small males: size assortative mating in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes

2018-05-23

Abstract excerpt

With Aedes aegypti mosquitoes now being released in field programs aimed at disease suppression, there is interest in identifying factors influencing the mating and invasion success of released mosquitoes. One factor that can increase release success is size: released males may benefit competitively from being larger than their field counterparts. However, there could be a risk in releasing only large males if sm...
