Local adaptation and colonization are potential factors affecting sexual competitiveness and mating choice in Anopheles coluzzii populations
Abstract The mating behaviour of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae complex is an important aspect of its reproduction biology. The success of mosquito release programmes based on genetic control of malaria crucially depends on competitive mating between both laboratory-reared and wild individuals...
