Vertical and Temporal Flight Activity of the Mosquito Culiseta Melanura (Diptera: Culicidae) in Southeastern Massachusetts1
Abstract
The vertical and temporal flight patterns of Cs. melanura were studied in southeastern Massachusetts. CDC miniature light traps operated at heights of 1.5, 4.5, and 7.6 m on 14 nights demonstrated that activity was uniform at all levels regardless of the phase of the moon. The temporal pattern of activity was assessed using a pigeon-baited suction trap and a resting box. Host-seeking activity started shortly after sunset, and continued at a relatively constant level throughout the night. At first light in the morning, host seeking ceased and behavior shifted to location of daytime resting sites. Results indicate that Cs. melanura is behaviorally well adapted to blood feeding on avian hosts.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
