对 2004 年 3 月至 2005 年 5 月期间收集的 3,553 只未喂养的、最近出现的和 13,256 只怀孕的雌性按蚊的翅膀长度进行了测量。只有在最温暖的月份，未喂食的雌性的平均翅膀长度才显着小于怀孕的雌性。未喂食的雌性翅膀长度从 1 月份平均气温为 24.8 摄氏度时的 2.26 毫米（Bootstrap 95% CI [2.25-2.27]）到 7 月份平均气温低 8.4 摄氏度时的 2.70 毫米（Bootstrap 95% CI [2.68-2.72]）不等。气温每降低一度，平均机翼长度就会增加 0.05 毫米。温度解释了 60% 的机翼长度变化。
The wing lengths of 3,553 unfed, recently emerged, and 13,256 gravid female Anopheles funestus Giles from exit collections, undertaken between March 2004 and May 2005, were measured. Only in the warmest months were mean wing lengths of unfed females significantly smaller than gravid females. Mean wing lengths of unfed, females varied from 2.26 mm (Bootstrap 95% CI [2.25-2.27]) in January when mean air temperatures were 24.8 degrees C to 2.70 mm (Bootstrap 95% CI [2.68-2.72]) in July when mean temperatures were 8.4 degrees C cooler. Mean wing lengths increased by 0.05 mm for each degree decrease in air temperature. Temperature explained 60% of the variation in wing length.
