| nutrient-dependent reduced growth and survival of larval culex restuans (diptera: culicidae): laboratory and field experiments in michigan. | culex restuans theobold, a putative vector of west nile virus among birds in northern north america, also may serve as a bridge vector to mammals. despite its potential public health importance, little is known about what regulates populations of this species. mosquitoes generally are subject to both density-dependent reductions in survival and growth and to density-independent limitations on their population abundances. the mechanisms by which density dependence may occur in this species were e ... | 2004 | 15311456 |
