Larval density dependence in Anopheles gambiae s.s., the major African vector of malaria

Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto is the most important vector of malaria in Africa although relatively little is known about the density‐dependent processes determining its population size. Mosquito larval density was manipulated under semi‐natural conditions using artificial larval breeding sites pl...
