Fertility potential in mating pairs for laboratory and field mosquitoes. 100% represents the full fertility potential and corresponds to the situation in which all the females of a theoretical population give birth to at least one viable larva. “Insemination” is the rate of insemination in the population. “Gravid” is the proportion of females that are gravid among those that are inseminated. “Oviposition” is the proportion of females that succeed in laying eggs among the females that are both inseminated and gravid. “Hatching” is the proportion of egg batches in which at least one egg hatched. “Larvae” is the proportion of egg batches that result in at least one viable larva. The numbers in the columns are the proportions of females that have at least one offspring (i.e. realized fertility vs overall population sterility). Each interval between two traits represents the proportion of females that failed to reach the stage in the reproductive process being considered. All proportions were obtained from our experiments
