Figure 2From: Rodent malaria-resistant strains of the mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, have slower population growth than -susceptible strainsThe life cycle parameters that cause the differences in λ among the 3 genotypes. The pair wise differences in the matrix entries between the three pairs of genotypes: (a) unselected control – highly susceptible, (b) unselected control – refractory, and (c) highly susceptible – refractory. The subscripts (i, j) of the matrix entry (pij) refer to the six stages: (1) egg, (2) larvae, (3) pupae, (4) virgin, (5) mated, and (6) gravid females. The differences in the matrix entries are scaled by the sensitivities of the average stage-classified matrix to show how they contribute to differences in λ between each pair of genotypes. For each matrix entry, the mean difference between the two genotypes and the 95% confidence interval are shown for the 9 combinations of group and environment. None of the differences are statistically significant after correcting for multiple comparisons.Back to article page
