Abstract
The slope of the line relating dry weight to stage of development does not vary among five species of mosquitoes belonging to all three subfamilies of Culicidae and both tribes within the subfamily Culicinae. Population or community biomass may then be estimated from a general mosquito equation adjusted for the mean weight of a given species' 4th instar.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
