Early attainment of 20-hydroxyecdysone threshold shapes mosquito sexual dimorphism in developmental timing by Meichun Zhang, Han Wen, Qiang Sun, Dongjing Zhang, Yongjun Li, Andrew Xi, Xiaoying Zheng, Yu Wu, Jun Cao, Jeremy Bouyer, Zhiyong Xi

“…Here, we investigate the role of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in CW assessment and pupation timing in Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti, vectors of arboviruses including dengue and Zika. Our results show that the attainment of CW is contingent upon surpassing a critical 20E threshold, which results in entrance into a constant 22 h interval and the subsequent 20E pulse responsible for larval-pupal ecdysis. …”
