Competition between larval populations of the native North American treehole mosquito Aedes triseriatus and Aedes albopictus, recently introduced from Asia to North America, was assessed by comparing per capita growth rate estimates for experimental cohorts of larvae developing under a variety of initial density combinations in fluid obtained from tires or from treeholes. Estimates of carrying capacities and competition coefficients indicate that competition between the two species will result…

The community ecology of Aedes egg hatching: implications for a mosquito invasion
TLDR
This experiment assesses the ability of larvae of A. albopictus and two possible competitors in North America, A.triseriatus and A.aegypti, to suppress hatching of conspecific and congeneric eggs.
Larval competition between Aedes japonicus and Aedes atropalpus (Diptera: Culicidae) in simulated rock pools
TLDR
Excessively stressful experimental conditions, as evidenced by reduced body size, and thus fecundity and estimated finite rate of increase, may have obscured the effects of larval competition between these species.
Interspecific Larval Competition Between Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Northern Virginia
Abstract Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Aedes japonicus (Theobald) are two of the most recent and widespread invasive mosquito species to have become established in the United States. The two species…
Interspecific Larval Competition between Invasive Aedes japonicus and Native Aedes triseriatus (Diptera: Culicidae) and Adult Longevity
  • B. Alto
  • Environmental Science
    Journal of medical entomology
  • 2011
TLDR
Both species are similarly affected by intra- and interspecific competition and underscore the importance of the effects of larval competition that continue into adulthood and alter parameters important to transmission of vector-borne diseases.
Interspecific Competition Between Larval Culex restuans Theobald and Culex pipiens L.(Diptera: Culicidae) in Michigan
TLDR
Small but significant differences in survival, growth, and development rates were found in C. restuans as a response to varying proportions of C. pipiens, suggesting that Cx.
Larval superiority of Culex pipiens to Aedes albopictus in a replacement series experiment: prospects for coexistence in Germany
BackgroundThe Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus is an extremely invasive, globally distributed and medically important vector of various human and veterinary pathogens. In Germany, where this…
Community Ecology of Container Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Virginia Following Invasion by Aedes japonicus
TLDR
This survey of diverse container types and all life stages provided only limited evidence for competitive displacements or reductions of resident container species by Ae.
Interspecific Competition Between Two Invasive Species of Container Mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae), in Brazil
TLDR
The results indicate that in Brazil, just as in North America, A. albopictus is a superior larval competitor to A. aegypti when exploiting leaf litter resources, and suggest that this competitive advantage for A.Albopictsus is likely to be independent of mosquito population origin, local environmental conditions, and local differences in the types of leaves that form the resource base of the aquatic habitats of larvae.
Mosquito larvae (Culiseta longiareolata) prey upon and compete with toad tadpoles (Bufo viridis)
TLDR
Testing experimentally for interactions between mosquito larvae, Culiseta longiareolata, and green toad immatures, Bufo viridis, the two most abundant macrospecies of temporary pools in the Negev Desert, Israel found densities were well within the range of densities found in natural pools.
Colonization and Development of the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes Albopictus) in The Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia Purpurea)
TLDR
Successful development of an exotic mosquito species within unoccupied pitchers of S. purpurea reinforces the hypothesis that invasive species may invade natural communities and occupy vacant niches.

TLDR
In both species, the composite fitness index was most sensitive to male and female pupal weight, less sensitive to sex ratio and development time, and least sensitive to pupation success.
