In laboratory and field tests, larvae of the western tree hole mosquito, Aedes sierrensis (Ludlow), were flushed by rainfall from both glass containers and natural tree holes. After 7 d and an accumulated rainfall of 7.9 cm (3.1 in), between 0 and 327 Ae. sierrensis immatures were recovered in collection devices placed below four natural tree holes. Habitat overflow affected all larval stages and may be an important, but overlooked, density-independent source of larval mortality for mosquitoes developing in some water-filled containers.
在实验室和野外试验中，西部树洞蚊（Aedes sierrensis，由勒德洛命名）的幼虫被降雨从玻璃容器和天然树洞冲出。7天后，累计降雨量达7.9厘米（3.1英寸），在放置于四个天然树洞下方的收集装置中，回收了0至327只未成熟的西部树洞蚊。栖息地溢流影响了所有幼虫阶段，对于在一些充满水的容器中发育的蚊子而言，这可能是一个重要但被忽视的、与密度无关的幼虫死亡来源。
