Abstract
During the course of previously described studies on the laboratory biology of Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say (Terzian & Stahler, 1954), it became apparent that light was an important ecological factor in determining the mating behavior of this mosquito. Accordingly, studies were undertaken to define certain aspects of the manner in which light affects the sexual activity of A. quadrimaculatus. This paper reports the results of investigations on the effects of natural and artificial illumination, and of changes in light intensity, on diurnal mating rhythm and the consequent rates of insemination.
