Maarten J Voordouw, Jacob C Koella, Hilary Hurd Malaria Journal 2008, 7:214 (21 October 2008) The paper describes a quantitative genetics study intended to investigate the relationship between sperm size and reproductive success in the malaria vector. This type of analysis has not yet been done and could provide insights into the determinants of reproductive success in this important vector

Methodology
Michelle EH Helinski, Mo'awia M Hassan, Waleed M El-Motasim, Colin A Malcolm, Bart GJ Knols, Badria El-Sayed Malaria Journal 2008, 7:65 (25 April 2008) Lessons learned from previous SIT releases must not be forgotten when considering applying the technique to mosquito control. Questions related to the impact of irradiation and transportation on males competitiveness are of great importance and this paper shows the difficulties in carrying out such studies under conditions as natural as possible.

Effect of larval crowding on mating competitiveness of Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes Kija R Ng'habi, Bernadette John, Gamba Nkwengulila, Bart GJ Knols, Gerry F Killeen, Heather M Ferguson Malaria Journal 2005, 4:49 (30 September 2005) The success of the release of sterile or transgenic Anopheles for malaria control depends on their mating competitiveness within wild populations. The discovery that males from un-crowded larval rearing conditions mated before males reared under more crowded conditions, has important implications in this context.
