Entomological monitoring of dengue vectors  Aedes aegypti  (Linnaeus, 1762) and  Ae. albopictus  (Skuse, 1894) (Diptera: Culicidae) provides crucial information on the life-history traits (LHTs). An assessment of the LHTs of  Aedes  mosquitoes was accomplished using randomly collected immature stages from various larval habitats of Kolkata, India. Out of 104 larval habitats ~43% were exclusive for  Ae. aegypti , ~31% were exclusive for  Ae. albopictus  and ~26% were common for both the species. Both female and male  Ae. aegypti  were bigger than the equivalents of  Ae. albopictus  in terms of pupal weight, adult weight and wing length. All the LHTs were significantly (P &lt; 0.05) correlated, and the sexual dimorphism was evident for both  Aedes  mosquitoes. In both the species, the fecundity (ln-transformed value; y) increased with the wing length (x) [for  Ae. aegypti  y = 1.012x+1.023, R 2  = 0.455, and for  Ae. albopictus  y = 1.022x+1.083, R 2  = 0.154]. A correspondence of the larval development and the adult traits was evident for both the  Aedes  mosquitoes. Incorporation of the life-history trait data with pupal productivity in the surveillance of the dengue vectors will enable precise predictions about the population abundance and possibility of disease transmission.

Do field collected immature stages of Aedes mosquitoes exhibit correspondence of the life-history traits? Observations from Kolkata, India
