Effect of different thermal conditions on the pre-imaginal biology of Culex apicinus (Philippi, 1865) (Diptera: Culicidae)

The time of development and survival of the pre-imaginal period and the adult body size of Culex apicinus were analyzed in individuals reared from the 1st instar larva to adult emergence under laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, insects were exposed to three constant temperatures (15...
