An estimate of the numbers of adults of the predacious mosquito Toxorhynchites brevipalpis was made in a 1-ha biotope in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where the population of its larval prey Aedes aegypti was high, by means of the mark-release-recapture method. Two months after the end of the rainy season, the number of adults was estimated to be 3 500-about 6 times the number of adult A. aegypti in the biotope.
通过标记重捕法,对坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆一处1公顷生物群落中捕食性蚊子短须巨蚊成虫的数量进行了估算,该生物群落中其幼虫猎物埃及伊蚊的数量很多。雨季结束两个月后,估算出短须巨蚊成虫的数量为3500只,约为该生物群落中埃及伊蚊成虫数量的6倍。
