However, the success of many control measures is highly dependent upon ecological, physiological, and life history traits of mosquito species. The behavior of mosquitoes and their potential to vector pathogens can also be impacted by these traits. One trait of interest is mosquito body mass, which depends upon many factors associated with the environment in which juvenile mosquitoes develop. Our experiments examined the impact of larval density on the body mass of\n                    <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n                    mosquitoes, which are important vectors of dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and other pathogens. To investigate the interactions between the larval environment and mosquito body mass, we built a discrete time mathematical model that incorporates body mass, larval density, and food availability and fit the model to our experimental data. We considered three categories of model complexity informed by data, and selected the best model within each category using Akaike\u2019s Information Criterion. We found that the larval environment is an important determinant of the body mass of mosquitoes upon emergence. Furthermore, we found that larval density has greater impact on body mass of adults at emergence than on development time, and that inclusion of density dependence in the survival of female aquatic stages in models is important. We discuss the implications of our results for the control of\n                    <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n                    mosquitoes and on their potential to spread disease.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pcbi.1009102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,22]],"date-time":"2021-11-22T13:29:40Z","timestamp":1637587780000},"page":"e1009102","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pcbi.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Modeling the effects of Aedes aegypti\u2019s larval environment on adult body mass at emergence"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6421-3772","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Melody","family":"Walker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8262-1510","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Karthikeyan","family":"Chandrasegaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cl\u00e9ment","family":"Vinauger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3705-0952","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Michael A.","family":"Robert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3904-3895","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lauren M.","family":"Childs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"pcbi.1009102.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e302","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(19)30161-6","article-title":"The effect of global change on mosquito-borne disease","volume":"19","author":"LH Franklinos","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lancet Infect Dis"},{"key":"pcbi.1009102.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.1016\/j.meegid.2018.11.009","article-title":"Aedes aegypti vector competence studies: A review","volume":"67","author":"JA Souza-Neto","year":"2019","journal-title":"Infect Genet Evol"},{"issue":"4","key":"pcbi.1009102.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1015","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0001015","article-title":"Oviposition site selection by the dengue vector Aedes aegypti and its implications for dengue control","volume":"5","author":"J Wong","year":"2011","journal-title":"PLOS Negl Trop Dis"},{"issue":"1","key":"pcbi.1009102.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1093\/jmedent\/47.1.53","article-title":"Environmental correlates of abundances of mosquito species and stages in discarded vehicle tires","volume":"47","author":"DA Yee","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Med Entomol"},{"issue":"3-4","key":"pcbi.1009102.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1560\/IJEE.55.3-4.325","article-title":"Coexistence, exclusion, or neutrality?
