Thermal experiments with the Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus japonicus) (Diptera Culicidae) and implications for its distribution in Germany Institute of Tropical Medicine
BACKGROUND: As ectothermic animals, temperature influences insects in almost every aspect. The potential disease spreading Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus japonicus) is native to temperate East Asia but invasive in several parts of the world. We report on the previously poorly understood temperature-dependence of its life history under laboratory conditions to understand invasion processes and to model temperature niches.
