“…Nevertheless, all other male wing characters showed an increase in FA with increase in temperature, albeit not significantly. Results of the present study contrast with previous studies using a laboratory strain of C. pipiens where increased temperature did not significantly increase wing trait FA Heredity Mpho et al, , 2001. The laboratory strain is maintained at reasonably high numbers but could have experienced periods of bottlenecks in the past, resulting in an elevated level of inbreeding.…”

“…The use of FA as a biomarker of environmental stress has great appeal because of its simplicity and cost. The find ings of the present study, along with those of Mpho et al (2000Mpho et al ( , 2001Mpho et al ( , 2002 suggest that it might be possible to use FA in Culex mosquitoes as such a biomarker under certain conditions. The type of stress to which the animals are exposed and the sex used to measure FA may influ ence whether a relationship is found.…”

“…The type of stress to which the animals are exposed and the sex used to measure FA may influ ence whether a relationship is found. For example, the results of the current study suggest that female FA is more responsive to some of the stressors used here, whilst Mpho et al (2001) found evidence that male FA responded to chemical stress, in the form of organophosphate insecticide, more than female FA. The picture remains unclear and more work needs to be carried out to establish whether there are particular conditions required to produce repeatable results and whether these results relate tojust one sex.…”

“…Porém, o comprimento e o tamanho da asa têm sido utilizados para estimar o tamanho do mosquito (Jirakanjanakit et al, 2007;Lehmann et al, 2006;Morales Vargas et al, 2010). Além disso, estudos mostraram que perturbações ambientais podem induzir alterações fisiológicas no mosquito como a assimetria bilateral de forma e tamanho alar (Mpho et al, 2001(Mpho et al, , 2002.…”

“…Outro fato importante de elucidar é que, aparentemente, Wolbachia está causando distúrbios não somente reprodutivos, já que o elevado grau de assimetria alar encontrado nos indivíduos infectados (Tabela 8), provavelmente está relacionado a perturbações fisiológicas (Mpho et al, 2001(Mpho et al, , 2002.…”
