165–75 total mosquitoes tested/population/timepoint.
M,Q,Pdenotes significant differences in populations (chi-squared, p < 0.05) relative to Cx. p f molestus, quinquefasciatus, or p f pipiens, respectively. Arrows denote direction of change relative to control. Parental populations are compared to one another and hybrid populations are compared to corresponding parentals.
