AUTOPHAGOSTIMULATION BY MOSQUITO LARVAE
View through CrossRef
Rates of feeding of larvae of Culex pipiens in distilled water and larval water (water in which larvae were head overnight at a density of 1–2 larvae/ml) were compared by two methods. One method depended on assessing the relative rate of displacement of kaolin from the gut when kaolin‐glutted larvae were provided with charcoal powder in the test liquids. The other method involved observation of changes in the time spent filtering by individual larvae transferred between distilled and larval water. Compared with plain water, larval water stimulates increased rates of feeding by the same or other conspecific larvae.RésuméAUTOPHAGOSTIMULATION CHEZ LES LARVES DE MOUSTIQUEL'eau dans laquelle on a maintenu des larves pendant une nuit, à la densiTÉ de 1–2 larves/ ml, stimule l'activiTÉ de filtration et la prise de nourriture de larves introduites isolément dans ce milieu, par comparaison avcc des larves TÉmoins placécs dans de l'eau distillée.
