Abstract
AbstractFirst instar larvae of five springAedesspp. mosquitoes survived for at least 25 days beneath moderately thick ice (4.5 cm) in an open field habitat. While survival in the open field was in excess of 85%, larvae inhabiting a nearby deciduous woodland pool suffered 100% mortality within 25 days. Dissolved oxygen levels in the woodland pool fell drastically over the period of ice-cover indicating a trend toward an anaerobic condition which likely contributed to larval mortality.
