A population of adult Culex tarsalis Coquillett was sampled daily from 9 through 26 July 1985. Data on the abundance, trophic status, and parity were recorded. Abundance and parity data were analyzed by a time series method to estimate daily survivorship and the length of the gonotrophic cycle. Daily survivorship of blood-fed females was estimated to be 0.84 with a gonotrophic cycle length of 5 d. Daily survivorship for unfed females was estimated to be 0.86 with a gonotrophic cycle length of 7 d. The 2-d difference in gonotrophic cycle lengths was interpreted as the duration of the teneral period during which newly emerged females underwent maturation and mating before seeking hosts.
1985年7月9日至26日，每天对一群成年的塔尔萨库蚊（Culex tarsalis Coquillett）进行采样。记录了关于丰度、营养状况和生殖状态的数据。通过时间序列方法分析丰度和生殖状态数据，以估计每日存活率和生殖营养周期的长度。吸食血液的雌蚊的每日存活率估计为0.84，生殖营养周期长度为5天。未进食雌蚊的每日存活率估计为0.86，生殖营养周期长度为7天。生殖营养周期长度的2天差异被解释为羽化期的持续时间，在此期间新羽化的雌蚊在寻找宿主之前进行成熟和交配。
