Abstract

The mark-release-recapture technique used in a study of the adult population dynamics of Wyeomyia vanduzeei Dyar and Knab in Florida is described. Reasons for selection of the various methods are given. The technique was used, during 1976, in a study of 42 weeks duration in which the percentage of recaptured adults exceeded 11%.
