The role of larval density and food availability in life‐history traits of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

2025-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Fluctuations in food availability and larval density play pivotal roles in shaping the characteristics of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito populations through intraspecific competition. Competition for limited resources drives density‐dependent effects, influencing survival rates, time to pupation, and the size and lifespan of adult mosquitoes. Our study aimed to investigate th...
