No impact of biocontrol agent's predation cues on development time or size of surviving Aedes albopictus under optimal nutritional availability

M. C. Russell, L. J. Cator

This study tests if copepod predation affects survival and development of Aedes albopictus larvae, finding no significant sublethal impact on surviving individuals.

Oil palm expansion increases the vectorial capacity of dengue vectors in Malaysian Borneo

N. Gregory, R. M. Ewers, A. Y. C. Chung, L. J. Cator

This study shows that oil palm plantations in Malaysian Borneo increase dengue vectorial capacity by 150% compared to forests due to higher adult mosquito abundance despite similar temperature-dependent trait estimates.

The effect of resource depletion on the thermal response of mosquito population fitness

P. J. Huxley, K. A. Murray, L. J. Cator, S. Pawar

This study shows that resource depletion in juvenile mosquito habitats reduces population growth rate and narrows thermal niche width across temperatures.

Sexual selection theory meets disease vector control: Testing harmonic convergence as a "good genes" signal in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes

G. P. League, L. C. Harrington, S. A. Pitcher, J. K. Geyer, L. L. Baxter, J. Montijo, J. G. Rowland, L. M. Johnson, C. C. Murdock, L. J. Cator

This study tests if harmonic convergence in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes signals good genes by analyzing acoustic traits and heritability of fitness traits across generations.

Size, not temperature, drives cyclopoid copepod predation of invasive mosquito larvae

M. C. Russell, A. Qureshi, C. G. Wilson, L. J. Cator

This study finds that copepod size, not temperature, determines predation efficiency on invasive mosquito larvae, suggesting size-based biocontrol strategies.

The effect of resource limitation on the temperature-dependence of mosquito population fitness

P. J. Huxley, K. A. Murray, S. Pawar, L. J. Cator

This study shows that resource limitation reduces mosquito population growth rates across temperatures and shifts the optimal temperature for growth, affecting disease transmission predictions.
