Size and sex in early developmental stages in a frog‐biting mosquito
Our knowledge of the morphological scaling of body parts over development across sexes in mosquitoes mainly focuses on well‐studied anthropophilic species, leaving a noticeable gap in our understanding of the developmental biology of mosquitoes with limited medical consequences.
