Article Synopsis
- A subspecies of the yellow fever mosquito has evolved to thrive in human environments, preferring human odor and breeding in artificial containers instead of traditional natural habitats.
- Unlike its ancestors, this subspecies' eggs hatch readily in higher dissolved oxygen levels found in artificial containers, suggesting a behavioral adaptation linked to human environments.
- The study reveals that this hatching behavior is heritable and influenced by the environment, demonstrating how species can quickly adapt to changes caused by humans.
