natural control of culex quinquefasciatus larvae in residential ditches by the copepod macrocyclops albidus.	natural populations of three larvivorous copepod species live in residential roadside ditches in louisiana: macrocyclops albidus, acanthocyclops vernalis, and megacyclops latipes. macrocyclops is most common and killed an average of 27 first-instar culex quinquefasciatus larvae/copepod/day in the laboratory. although severe pollution from septic tank effluent in some parts of the ditches creates havens for cx. quinquefasciatus production by excluding predatory copepods and fish (gambusia affinis ...	2000	10925792
copepod predation on anopheles quadrimaculatus larvae in rice fields.	cyclopoid copepods and mosquito larvae were surveyed in southwestern louisiana rice fields. almost every rice field had a natural population of mesocyclops ruttneri, acanthocylops vernalis, or macrocyclops albidus. judging from the abundance of pupae, 29% of the fields were responsible for virtually all anopheles quadrimaculatus production, apparently because larval mortality suppressed production in the other fields. mesocyclops ruttneri had the strongest negative association of naturally occur ...	2000	10925791
