Fig. 2

wMel infection differentially affects the dynamics of pupation in male and female Brazilian Ae. aegypti reared under different larval densities. For females, low a and high larval densities c did not affect the pupation dynamics between wMel-infected and uninfected individuals (F (0.05) = 3.072, P = 0.0119) and (F (0.05) = 0.1425, P = 0.9344), respectively; b, with differences only occurring at the intermediate condition (F (0.05) = 3.072, P = 0.0119). For males, d, low; e, intermediate conditions showed differences between groups (F (0.05) = 5.899, P = 0.0008) and (F (0.05) = 2.778, P = 0.0457), respectively, with peaks occurring earlier, while there was no difference at f high density (F (0.05) = 2.072, P = 0.1054). Black lines represent uninfected mosquitoes. Colored lines represent Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes, with a different color for each density condition. Data were pooled from two independent biological replicates
