Size and shape analysis of the Aedes aegypti females from three strains and the field population through geometric morphometrics of wings. a) global isometric sizes (in pixels) of the A. aegypti wings with distinctive susceptibility profiles to temephos: RecRev (Susceptible), RecRNEx (resistant non-exposed), RecR (Resistant exposed), and Arcoverde (Resistant field). R: right wing; L: left wing. The central lines show the original means, and the intervals represent the standard error (± SE). b) Scatter plot of A. aegypti females showing three different clusters: 1) Arcoverde (red); 2) RecRNEx and RecR (purple and green, respectively); and 3) RecRev (blue). Clustering is measured by the canonical variate analysis, which takes into account the shape and size of female wings
