摘要: Mosquitoes have a complex life-cycle with dramatic changes in shape, function, and habitat. Aedes aegypti was studied by growing individual larvae at different concentrations of defined rich food source. At higher concentrations, rate larval growth faster, but the time required for 4th instar to molt into pupal stage unexpectedly extended. These opposite tendencies resulted constant times from hatching pupation up adult eclosion permissive concentrations. The results demonstrate that nutritional conditions impact initiation first metamorphic molt.
