Population growth models are integral to ecological studies by providing estimates of
population performance across space and time. Several models have been developed that …

Abstract The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse)(Diptera: Culicidae), invaded
eastern North America in 1985 and subsequently spread across a range of≈ 14° latitude …

Abstract Background Development rates of Aedes aegypti are known to vary with respect to
many abiotic and biotic factors including temperature, resource availability, and intraspecific …

Recent use of correlates of the intrinsic rate of increase and models to study population
dynamics in mosquitoes has emphasized the need for species specific data on the …

Background Ectotherms, like mosquitoes, have evolved specific responses to variation in
environmental conditions like temperature, and these responses could confer a fitness …

Understanding the relationship of population dynamics to density is central to many
ecological investigations. Despite the importance of density-dependence in determining …

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is expanding its distribution in the United States and elsewhere,
and a better understanding of its population regulation is needed. A field experiment under …

Many environmental factors, biotic and abiotic interact to influence organismal development.
Given the importance of Aedes aegypti as a vector of human pathogens including dengue …

Aedes albopictus (Skuse) is an invasive mosquito species found across the southern US
with range expansion into many northern states. Intra‐and interspecific larval competition …

Mosquito larval habitat determines the fitness, survivorship, fecundity, and vector capacity of
emerging adults. We manipulated larval density and food provisioning in the laboratory to …
