The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894), is an invasive species that can
be found on all continents. The species, originally considered a secondary vector of viruses …

Biotic interactions involving mosquito larvae are context dependent, with effects of
interactions on populations altered by ecological conditions. Relative impacts of competition …

We investigated the role of heavy rain on container-inhabiting mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae)
populations, and how different species may have adapted to such conditions. Rains were …

Dengue dynamics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as in many dengue-endemic regions of the
world, is seasonal, with peaks during the wet-hot months. This temporal pattern is generally …

Many studies of interspecific competition between Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Aedes
aegypti (L.)(Diptera: Culicidae) larvae show that Ae. albopictus are superior resource …

Dengue fever has become the most important vector-borne viral disease in Brazil. Human
facilitated transport of desiccation-resistant eggs has led to its two most important vectors …

Discarded vehicle tires are a common habitat for a variety of container mosquito species. I
reviewed the literature from the last 50 yr on mosquitoes collected within tires in the eastern …

Invasion by mosquito vectors of disease may impact the distribution of resident mosquitoes,
resulting in novel patterns of vectors and concomitant risk for disease. One example of such …

Invasive alien species (IAS) can cause substantive ecological impacts, and the role of
temperature in mediating these impacts may become increasingly significant in a changing …

Condition-specific competition is widespread in nature. Species inhabiting heterogeneous
environments tend to differ in competitive abilities depending on environmental stressors …
