Abstract: The effect of constant temperatures on the development time from irst instar to adult emergence was studied in Culex eduardoi Casal & García reared at 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 33°C. Data were adjusted to the linear degree-day model and the nonlinear Briére model. According to the linear model, the development time was inversely related to the rearing temperatures between 7°C and 25°C. Maximum mortality (100%) was recorded at temperatures ≥ 30°C. According to the linear model, the development threshold temperat… Show more

“…Environmental conditions have been associated with significant variation in both adult and immature stage characteristics of insects, including larval growth rates, development times, body size, fecundity, and longevity (Shelton 1973, Loetti et al 2011). Temperature is a particularly important abiotic factor for mosquitoes and other arthropods, as it directly affects mortality, life span, and development rates that can cause changes in morphology (Su and Mulla 2001, Debat et al 2003, Gunay et al 2011).…”

“…This indicates that a higher temperature during the dry season might increase the number of generations per year. The estimated optimal temperature for Culex mosquito developmental stages is 28.1°C (Loetti et al 2011;Kiarie-Makara et al 2015), and the average temperature during the dry season in Southern Thailand is 28.2°C.…”

It is commonly found that as temperature increases, immature stages development time decreases (Shelton, 1973;Loetti et al, 2011;Dodson et al, 2012;Grech et al, 2015), up to a critical thermal threshold for survival (Delatte et al, 2009;Loetti et al, 2011).
