Behavioural determinants of gene flow in malaria vector populations: <it>Anopheles gambiae</it> males select large females as mates

Behavioural determinants of gene flow in malaria vector populations: <it>Anopheles gambiae</it> males select large females as mates

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p><it>Plasmodium</it>-refractory mosquitoes are being rapidly developed for malaria control but will only succeed if they can successfully compete for mates when released into the wild. Pre-copulatory behavioural traits mai...
