The length of the gonotrophic cycle of Anopheles albimanus was estimated by 12 mark-release-recapture studies conducted in corrals in southern Mexico from 1987 to 1990. The initial set of three mark-release studies indicated that the gonotrophic cycle takes at least 4 d based on the day when gravid mosquitoes were first recaptured. However, in later experiments, mosquitoes recaptured seeking hosts at 48 h after release were in Sella's and Christophers' stages I and II, but parity rates had nearly doubled, indicating that eggs may have developed in less than 48 h and that mosquitoes returned to refeed immediately following oviposition. Two gonotrophic cycles probably exist, one of 48 h dominated by parous mosquitoes and one of 4 d comprised of nulliparous, pregravid mosquitoes. Daily survivorship was estimated by regression from the decrease in the daily recapture rate (0.46-0.68) was less than that estimated by the parity rates (0.67-0.69), with no important differences found between wet and dry seasons. Estimates of the probability of a mosquito living long enough to transmit malaria were 2% (range, 1.8-2.5%).
1987年至1990年期间，在墨西哥南部的畜栏中进行了12次标记-释放-再捕获研究，以估算白纹按蚊的生殖营养周期长度。最初的三次标记-释放研究表明，根据首次重新捕获到怀卵蚊子的日期，生殖营养周期至少需要4天。然而，在后来的实验中，在释放后48小时重新捕获到寻找宿主的蚊子处于塞拉氏和克里斯托弗氏阶段I和II，但产蚊率几乎翻了一番，这表明卵可能在不到48小时内发育，并且蚊子在产卵后立即返回再次觅食。可能存在两个生殖营养周期，一个是由经产蚊子主导的48小时周期，另一个是由未产、怀孕前蚊子组成的4天周期。通过对每日再捕获率下降的回归估计每日存活率（0.46 - 0.68）低于通过产蚊率估计的值（0.67 - 0.69），在雨季和旱季之间未发现重要差异。蚊子存活足够长时间以传播疟疾的概率估计为2%（范围为1.8 - 2.5%）。
