AQR - Vol. 12, No. 1 & 2, Fall/Winter 1993

About the Cover

Of the 8,000-plus mosquito species occurring in the world, only 27 are known to occur in Alaska. This lack of diversity is more than made up by the sheer numbers in which they occur. On the Arctic tundra, mosquitoes can take as much as a quart of blood per day from a caribou.
