Abstract
Experimental observations taken outdoors in Trinidad are consistent with the assumption that the oviposition site is used by some gravid female Aedes aegypti as a nocturnal resting site prior to their laying eggs in it the next morning: the morning wave of oviposition of the typically bimodal diel periodicity was missing whenever an oviposition site was closed throughout the previous night. The diel pattern of oviposition did not differ significantly in sites at, and four feet above, ground level.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
