Small mosquitoes, large implications: crowding and starvation affects gene expression and nutrient accumulation in Aedes aegypti
BACKGROUND: Environmental factors such as temperature, nutrient availability, and larval density determine the outcome of postembryonic development in mosquitoes. Suboptimal temperatures, crowding, and starvation during the larval phase reduce adult mosquito size, nutrient stores and affect vectoria...
