Measuring Adult Dispersal

  • Chapter

Mark–recapture techniques were principally devised for estimating population size, but have frequently been applied to adult mosquitoes in order to study dispersal, feeding behaviour, duration of the gonotrophic cycle, survival rates and other behaviours. Genetic markers may also be used to study mosquito dispersal. Available methods for marking insects which are applicable to studying the dispersal of marked adult mosquitoes were discussed in Chapter 14.
