Abstract
Preceding chapters have mainly described various methods for sampling the different developmental stages and age groups of Mosquito populations. This chapter is concerned with analysing the numerical changes that occur in population size during the life-cycle of mosquitoes, identifying the causes of mortalities, and determining the age structure and survival rates of adult populations. A comprehension of the growth and regulation of Mosquito populations is essential for understanding their population dynamics. Darwin (1859) wrote ‘There is no exception to the rule that every organic being naturally increases at so high a rate, that if not destroyed, the earth would soon be covered by the progeny of a single pair’. It follows that with animals such as mosquitoes which have high growth potential that at some time during the period from egg to ovipositing female there must be large mortalities. The measurement of these mortalities has interested ecologists and statisticians alike, and many of the techniques used are founded on mathematical probabilities.
