Sažetak
An investigation of different ways in which the Culex pipiens complex
hibernates has been carried out in cellar environments with two different ecological conditions. These two types of hibernation are as follows. The first type includes continuous exchange of generations in dark concrete basements with water, with 45 days for the development of a new generation. The second potential type of hibernation of adult mosquitoes is in dark and cold cellars where they lose 44.5 % of body weight and only 41.86 % of hibernating
specimens survive.
