Semi-field experiments highlight the importance of maize and rice pollen on oviposition site choice and larval development in Anopheles arabiensis
This study demonstrates that pollen types on the surface of aquatic habitats influence the oviposition site selection behaviour of gravid An. arabiensis and has carry-over effect on the developmental success of their offspring.
