Abstract

Environmental temperature is an important abiotic element that plays a significant role in various aspects of the insect life cycle. Insects have evolved different mechanisms to adjust to temperature variations in order to avoid thermal stress over evolutionary time. They have been able to invade practically every type of habitat due to these adaptations. Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is a Southeast Asian forest-dwelling mosquito species that has spread throughout the world in the last forty years. Since it can effectively transmit a variety of viruses, Aedes albopictus is a significant public health issue in all areas where it has already been entrenched. The current article shows the existing understanding of the impact of environmental temperature on the dispersion and ecology of Aedes albopictus.
