Table 1. Wing length-fecundity functions f(wx) and D values for the three mosquito species, and the studies from which these values and functions were derived.

Species Function D Data/function Source
A. aegypti f(wx) = 0.5*(2.50*w3−8.616) 12 Briegel 1990 [47]
A. albopictus f(wx) = 0.5*(78.02*w−121.240) 14 Lounibos et al. 2002 [48]
C. pipiens f(wx) = 0.5*(46.83*w−104) 4.5 Vinogradova and Karpova 2006 [49]

In all cases w = wing length in mm.
