Ecology and population dynamics of Aedes vexans (Meigen), were studied for 3 yr in southern Switzerland. Demographic data were compiled into single and multicohort stage-frequency lifetables that indicated variability in individual developmental times and losses caused by mortality. The structure of life table matrices suggested an analysis using a timevarying distributed delay model with attrition. Field data then were used to construct and validate a simulation model that input the number of 1st instars and output the number of emerging adults. The delay was the time required to complete development and attrition corresponded to mortality. Under optimal food supply, temperature was the most important driving variable. The model was parameterized with data obtained from laboratory experiments and evaluated with field data. Development and survival of preimaginal Ae. vexans were simulated reasonably well under 2 different pool habitats. Addition of a hydrology component to the model would enhance control operations by predicting hatch rates in the field.
