Substrate: ground surface

MAT: 26.0

MAP: 2600.0

Habitat comments: "The collecting localities are... within a phytoecological region of pioneer formations with palm trees... which is intermixed with areas of ecological tension between pioneer formations and upland terra firme forests" but "Mosquito specimens were mostly collected inside the riparian forest along existing and/or newly created trails, perpendicular to the river banks, and within continuous upland terra firme forest"

Life forms: mosquitoes

Sites: 1

Sampling methods: no design,sweep nets,light traps,malaise traps,other traps,hand capture

Sample size: 3100 individuals

Years: 2010

Sampling comments: collecting involved "a variety of capture methods, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) downdraft light traps with different types of light sources (incandescent lamp [CDC-Inc], ultraviolet fluorescent tube [CDC-UVtube], and ultraviolet light-emitting diodes [CDC-UVled]); flight intercept traps (Malaise, Shannon, Suspended); and sweeping with nets... Immature mosquitoes were collected from aquatic habitats found along trails, in the same areas where adults were captured"; material was "sampled during the rainy season, with high water levels, from June 4 to 10, 2010"
