Tracking Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Larval Behavior Across Development: Effects of Temperature and Nutrients on Individuals’ Foraging Behavior
Journal of Medical Entomology, 55(5), 1086–1092.
author keywords: mosquito; Aedes aegypti; behavioral syndrome; ontogeny; sex-specific behavior
MeSH headings : Aedes / growth & development; Animals; Behavior, Animal; Female; Larva; Male; Sex Characteristics; Temperature
TL;DR:
There is support that nutrients and temperature affect behavior differently at different instars, and individuals that fail to achieve adulthood forage more intensely than those that will emerge due to the need for greater resources.

2016 journal article
Mosquitoes of field and forest: the scale of habitat segregation in a diverse mosquito assemblage
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 31(1), 44–54.
author keywords: Disease ecology; habitat edges; landscape ecology; vector-borne pathogens
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Biodiversity; Culicidae / physiology; Ecosystem; Forests; Grassland; North Carolina; Population Density
TL;DR:
The present results suggest blood‐seeking mosquito species are faithful to certain habitats, which has consequences for patterns of vector diversity and risk for pathogen transmission, and developers of land management strategies should assess habitat at a finer scale than previously considered.

2015 journal article
Late-instar Behavior of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Larvae in Different Thermal and Nutritive Environments
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 52(5), 789–796.
author keywords: ecology & behavior; climate change; immature insects; mosquito borne diseases; metabolism; life processes
MeSH headings : Aedes / growth & development; Aedes / physiology; Animals; Environment; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Florida; Hot Temperature; Larva / growth & development; Larva / physiology; Pupa / growth & development; Pupa / physiology; Video Recording
TL;DR:
Both food level and temperature had significant impacts on larval foraging behavior, with more time spent actively foraging at low food levels and at low temperatures, and more occurrences of active foraging in these insects at both temperature extremes.
