Frequency of autogeny, the effects of body size and short-term selection on the autogeny trait in an Aedes aegypti population from Kenya. (A) Number of eggs laid autogenously by individual autogenous females. Females that did not lay autogenously are not shown. (B) Wing size, as a proxy for body size, of autogenous and anautogenous females. (C) The number of autogenous eggs laid by mosquitoes selected for the autogeny trait compared with an unselected control. The number of mosquitoes in each generation declined, explaining the overall decline in the number of eggs laid.
