The species composition and seasonal distribution of mosquitoes in vernal pools in suburban Montreal, Quebec.

A study was conducted in the spring and summer of 1998 to determine the invertebrate community in vernal pools on the western portion of the Island of Montreal. This paper examines the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) found in 10 pools. Fifteen species in 4 genera (Aedes, Anopheles, Culex, and Ochlerotatus) were collected and the seasonal distribution of each species was determined.
