AEDES ALBOPICTUS AND AEDES FLAVOPICTUS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) PRE-IMAGINAL ABUNDANCE PATTERNS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ALONG AN ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT

Aedes albopictus and Aedes flavopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) pre-imaginal abundance patterns are associated with different environmental factors along an altitudinal gradient

Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) is a major global invasive mosquito species that, in Japan, co-occurs with Aedes (Stegomyia) flavopictus Yamada, a closely related species recently intercepted in Europe.Here, we present results of a detailed 25-month long MUSTACHE WAX study where we biweekly sampled pupae and fourth instar larvae of these two s
