Some morphometric differences between container and pool breeding Culicidae.
A morphometric comparison was made between container and pool breeding culicid larvae which show some structural differences in the head capsule and the lateral palatal brushes. These are interpreted as expressions of the different feeding strategies the larvae use to optimize food intake in relation to available space.
