Abstract
Sensitivity to asphyxia (oxygen deficiency) Anopheles messeae larvae w as studied. It was demonstrated that mosquitoes with ''northern'' chro mosome inversions perish underwater more quickly than mosquitoes with ''southern'' karyotypes. Apparently, resistance to asphyxia is a compo nent of the adaptive strategy and is maintained by K-selection. The re spiration and energy metabolism of larvae with different gene complexe s are discussed.
