Maternal and paternal nutrition in a mosquito influences offspring life histories but not infection with an arbovirus

2018-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The nutritional ecology of an organism can influence the phenotypes of its offspring, generating maternal effects (when derived from mothers) and paternal effects (when derived from fathers). Given the importance of larval nutrition in influencing adult life histories and vector competence inAedes aegypti, we considered how maternal and paternal nutrition influences offspring. Parental generation females...
