Carbon And Nitrogen Analysis To Determine Competitive Outcome For Three Species Of Container Mosquitoes, John Lloyd Martin May 2014

Carbon And Nitrogen Analysis To Determine Competitive Outcome For Three Species Of Container Mosquitoes, John Lloyd Martin

Honors Theses

It is well documented that intense larval competition exists between species of container mosquitoes. Two of the main genera of mosquitoes found to inhabit containers are Aedes and Culex. This study sought to determine the effects that different detritus treatments and larva ratios would have on carbon and nitrogen content, mass, and survival of larvae of various species. The species used in this experiment were Aedes albopictus, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. I hypothesized that Ae. albopictus would be more efficient in acquiring nitrogen then the competitor species Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus. Thus, I expected Ae. albopictus to …
