List of North American species that have been reported to co-occur with Aedes j. japonicus in larval habitats and estimates of potential for interaction with the invasive species

Co-occurring species Potential for interactiona Evidence of negative effects on native species or larval competition? Reference(s)
Aedes albopictus (Skuse) +++ Some habitat segregation between the two species; Aedes japonicus inferior competitor in lab and field studies 7, 8, 10, 52
Aedes atropalpus (Coquillett) +++ Reduction or elimination in rock pools and tires; Aedes japonicus marginally better competitor in lab studies? 4, 5, 811, 15, 35, 50, 94
Aedes hendersoni (Cockerell) + N/A N/A
Aedes triseriatus (Say) +++ Reduction in tires; little evidence of asymmetric competition in lab studies 1, 5, 11, 15, 35, 40, 45, 50
Anopheles barberi (Coquillett) + N/A N/A
Anopheles punctipennis (Say) ++ Displacement in tires? (Unexpectedly absent in surveys) 103
Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Say) + N/A N/A
Culex pipiens (Linnaeus) +++ Reduction in some containers; little evidence of asymmetric competition in lab studies 35, 60
Culex restuans (Theobald) +++ Reduction in tires and other artificial containers 5, 71
Culex salinarius (Coquillett) + N/A N/A
Culex territans (Coquillett) ++ N/A N/A
Culiseta melanura (Coquillett) + N/A N/A
Orthopodomyia signifera (Coquillett) ++ N/A N/A
Toxorhynchites rutilus (Dyar & Knab) ++ Predator on Aedes j. japonicus; evidence of negative impact on Aedes j. japonicus in lab and field studies 53, 71
a

Low (+) to high (+++) potential based on overlapping use of container types and high relative abundance of each species.
