Our first publication on mosquito pupal behaviour is out! In this project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, we explored swiming behaviour of 11 mosquto pupae. We found that the differences in swimming activity are well explained by phylogenetic relationships between species.

Well done to Chris, Mingyue, and all our colalborators without who this work would not be possible!
