Keywords: low latitudes and altitudes have been credited with more biotic and fewer physical limiting factors, greater stability, longer growing seasons, and fewer seasonally related sources of density-independent mortality, these conditions should lead to shorter generations in the north, earlier age of first reproduction in the north, larger clutches in the north, semelparity in the north, iteroparity in the south, and higher capacity for increase in the north, density dependent selection in the pitcher plant mosquito W smithii, voltinism and life cycle strategy
