“…A. albopictus may also gain early access to resources by inhibiting egg hatching of other mosquito species (Edgerly et al, 1993). There is strong evidence that A. albopictus has competitively displaced a resident mosquito species, Aedes aegypti (L.), from artificial containers throughout much of the southeastern U.S.A. (O'Meara et al, 1995;Juliano, 1998) In forested areas of the eastern U.S.A., A. albopictus has invaded treeholes and containers occupied by the native mosquito Ochlerotatus triseriatus (Say), whose larvae also acquire resources by browsing and filtering microbes (Jenkins & Carpenter, 1946). Laboratory studies have shown that A. albopictus outcompetes O. triseriatus for limiting larval resources (Barrera, 1996).…”

Abstract1. The hypothesis that selective predation on larvae of the invasive Aedes albopictus (Skuse) could account for its stable coexistence with the native mosquito species and inferior competitor Ochlerotatus triseriatus (Say) in Florida treeholes and container systems was tested experimentally. Functional responses of the two dipteran predators Toxorhynchites rutilus (Coquillett) andCorethrella appendiculata (Grabham) were evaluated separately for A. albopictus and O. triseriatus prey. Both predators exhibited type II functional responses and consistently consumed more of the invasive species. Handling time of T. rutilus feeding upon O. triseriatus was significantly longer than when preying upon the invasive species.3. When either predator species was offered varying ratios of the two prey species, A. albopictus was consumed preferentially. The absence of a prey ratio effect on preference indicated that switching probably does not occur. 4. The higher maximum feeding rate upon, and preference for, A. albopictus suggests that differential predation may foster coexistence of the invasive and native mosquito prey species in Florida.

“…De acordo com o hábito das espécies, estas podem depositar seus ovos, em ocos de árvores (JENKINS & CARPENTER 1946), SOTA et al 1994); nas axilas de plantas, em conchas de moluscos (FORATTINI 2002), em bromélias (FORATTINI & MARQUES 2000), em entrenós de bambu e taquara (SOTA & MOGI 1996, LOZOVEI 1998, ZEQUI & LOPES 2001, nas nascentes de água ou nos ribeirões existentes em seu interior (CONSOLIM et al 1993, LOPES & LOZOVEI 1995, QUINTERO et al 1996, LOPES et al 2002.…”

Fragmentos de mata na área urbana ou periurbana podem ser locais favoráveis a procriação de Culicidae. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo levantar as espécies de culicídeos que utilizam criadouros artificiais, suas coexistência e as flutuações populacionais em uma reserva de mata localizada em Londrina - PR. Realizou-se coletas quinzenais de outubro de 1995 a setembro de 1996 em pneus e internódios de bambu armadilha que foram instalados ao nível do solo e outros internódios instalados a 2 m de altura. Coletou-se 12.656 espécimes, pertencentes a cinco gêneros e 11 espécies. As espécies mais abundantes nos criadouros foram Limatus durham Theobald, 1901, Culex eduardoi Casal & Garcia, 1968, Aedes terrens (Walker, 1856), Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 e Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894). O maior número de indivíduos foi coletado em pneus, sendo que Limatus durham e Aedes terrens, apresentaram preferência nesse criadouro. A presença de Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), Aedes albopictus e Haemagogus leucocelaenus (Dyar & Shannon, 1924) em diferentes coletas indica que esse tipo de ambiente não deve ser ignorado nas ações de controle de vetores, merecendo constante monitoramento.

“…Together with those features and methodological advantage for experimental studies makes them important experimental tools in ecology for studying processes and patterns occurring at the level of the community (Srivastava et al 2004). Epidemiological importance of these habitats as major breeding grounds for disease spreading organisms such as mosquitos has further attracted the attention of these habitats to medical entomologists (Jenkins & Carpenter 1946;Maguire 1971).…”
