Biotic interactions involving mosquito larvae are context dependent, with effects of interactions on populations altered by ecological conditions. Relative impacts of competition and predation change across a gradient of habitat size and permanence. Asymmetrical competition is common and ecological context changes competitive advantage, potentially facilitating landscape-level coexistence of competitors. Predator effects on mosquito populations sometimes depend on habitat structure and on emergent effects of multiple predators, particularly interference among predators. Nonlethal effects of predators on mosquito oviposition, foraging, and life history are common, and their consequences for populations and for mosquito-borne disease are poorly understood. Context-dependent beneficial effects of detritus shredders on mosquitoes occur in container habitats, but these interactions appear to involve more than simple resource modification by shredders. Investigations of context-dependent interactions among mosquito larvae will yield greater understanding of mosquito population dynamics and provide useful model systems for testing theories of context dependence in communities.

幼虫蚊子之间的物种相互作用:跨栖息地梯度的环境依赖性。

涉及蚊子幼虫的生物相互作用取决于环境,相互作用对种群的影响因生态条件而改变。竞争和捕食的相对影响在栖息地大小和持久性的梯度上发生变化。不对称竞争很普遍,生态环境改变了竞争优势,潜在地促进了竞争者在景观层面的共存。捕食者对蚊子种群的影响有时取决于栖息地结构和多个捕食者的紧急影响,尤其是捕食者之间的干扰。捕食者对蚊子产卵、觅食和生活史的非致命影响很常见,但对它们对种群和蚊媒疾病的影响知之甚少。碎屑粉碎机对蚊子的依赖环境的有益影响发生在容器栖息地,但这些相互作用似乎不仅仅涉及粉碎机对资源的简单改变。对蚊子幼虫之间环境依赖相互作用的调查将更好地了解蚊子种群动态,并为测试社区环境依赖理论提供有用的模型系统。
