Reference: J. S. Silva, J. B. Pacheco, J. Alencar, and A. E. Guimaräes. 2010. Biodiversity and influence of climatic factors on mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) around the Peixe Angical hydroelectric scheme in the state of Tocantins, Brazil. Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz 105(2):155-162 [ER 2307]

Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Substrate: ground surface

WMT: 32.0

CMT: 26.0

MAP: 1000.0

Habitat comments: no details given, but presumably dense forest within a general cerrado environment because sampling was on the banks of the river and Säo Salvador do Tocantins, described in the same paper, also consists of riverbank samples and is described as "typical cerrado vegetation... where the vegetation forms a dense forest"
climate data are for Peixe Angical and are from Alencar et al. (2008, Journal of Vector Ecology)

Life forms: mosquitoes

Sites: 7

Sampling methods: no design,baited,other traps,hand capture

Sample size: 5492 individuals

Years: 2004 - 2006

Days: 70

Sampling comments: "Sampling was performed every two months for five consecutive days between February 2004-April 2006" (i.e., on 14 occasions) with apparent hand collection of "mosquitoes resting on vegetation and any specimen that was likely to have been attracted by the presence of humans. For the night collections, Shannon traps (Forattini 2002) with a 100-watt universal light were used and insects were captured while resting on the walls. Samplings were also performed using traps (Lard Can Trap) with animal bait (Gallus g. domesticus). The traps were installed at the tops of trees, about 7 m above ground level"
