The migratory behaviour of salt marsh mosquitoes: Revisiting the evidence
Salt marsh mosquitoes must adapt to the ephemeral conditions of coastal areas. Historical findings from mark-release-recapture experiments, combined with accidental captures out at sea, suggest that salt marsh mosquitoes use wind-borne migration as one strategy to cope with temporally harsh environments. Considering the recent evidence reappraising the scale of wind-borne mosquito movement, we review the evidence for salt marsh mosquito migration and the possible evolutionary drivers.
