Light Pollution Disrupts Seasonal Differences in the Daily Activity and Metabolic Profiles of the Northern House Mosquito, Culex pipiens
Simple Summary The Northern house mosquito transmits West Nile virus and survives the
winter by entering a state of dormancy called diapause. Light pollution has been shown to …
