title: The duration of larval life of Aedes aegypti as affected by time of hatch.
abstract: When Aedes aegypti eggs (1-10 wk old) were submerged in water, larvae that hatched in the 24 hr period following exposure to reduced oxygen developed significantly faster than larvae from the initial hatch. There were significant differences in the sex ratios between first- and second-hatch groups; however, adult size and fecundity did not differ significantly.
