Über das Größenverteilungsverhalten der Weibchen von Anopheles claviger Meig. im Zusammenhang mit den Temperaturverhältnissen während der Entwicklungszeit in einem oberbayerischen Untersuchungsgebiet (Dipt., Culicidae) (Untersuchungen über die Insektenfauna von Räumen: 13)

The biology of Anopheles claviger (Mg.) (Dipt., Culicidae) in southern England

“…The mean egg batch size in May-June (160.0) was greater than that in July-Aupust (125.3) and September-October (134.1). In Germany Kuhlhorn (1964) found that imaller adults laid fewer eggs than larger ones, and that a predominance of smaller adults were usually produced in hot weather. Although I made no measurements there was no doubt that adults in May were larger than those caught later in the year, a phenomenon that has been measured in other British mosquitoes.…”
