The mosquito <jats:italic>Armigeres subalbatus<\/jats:italic> (Coquillet) is a common vector of filariasis. Nevertheless, its population dynamics have been relatively poorly studied. Here, we present results from a season long study where we studied spatio-temporal abundance patterns of <jats:italic>Ar. subalbatus<\/jats:italic> across the altitudinal gradient of Mt. Konpira in Nagasaki, Japan. Spatially, we found that abundance of adult <jats:italic>Ar. subalbatus<\/jats:italic> decreased with altitude and increased in areas where the ground was rich in leaf litter. Similarly, adult activity was observed only when relative humidity was over 65%. Temporally, we found that peaks in abundance followed large rainfall events. Nevertheless, this mosquito was under significant density dependence regulation. Our results suggest that <jats:italic>Ar. subalbatus<\/jats:italic> population peaks following large rainfall events could reflect the recruitment of individuals that were dormant as dry eggs. We did not find a clear signal of temperature on abundance changes of this mosquito, but only on its phenology. Since ground cover seemed more critical than temperature to its spatial distribution, we propose that this mosquito might have some degree of autonomy to changes in temperature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007485315000474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,15]],"date-time":"2015-06-15T07:08:38Z","timestamp":1434352118000},"page":"589-597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Population
