Abstract
Aedes albopictus, a species known to transmit dengue and chikungunya viruses, is primarily a container-inhabiting
mosquito.ThepotentialforpathogentransmissionbyAe.albopictushasincreasedourneedtounderstanditsecologyand

population when larval densities are high enough to deplete accessible nutrients faster than the rate of natural food
accumulation.
