Connections between the habitat pattern and the pattern of the mosquito larval assemblages

Abstract: Aim of the study was to find relations between the habitat pattern and the pattern of mosquito assemblages. Microhabitats of shallow lakes, riversides, forests and humid grasslands were studied. 1,239 samples (mosquito assemblages and potential habitat variables) were taken in different habitats in Hungary. Cluster analysis, Pearson correlation, MDS and PCA were used. Results showed that the mosquito larval assemblages are related to characteristic vegetation types: (a) reed beds and sedge-marshes with temporary character; (b) reed beds and/or sedge-marshes with permanent character; (c) the fresh grasslands characterized by temporary water supply; (d) the marginal zone of the open permanent waters (e.g., lakes); (e) the closed forest vegetation types of temporary water supply. Presence of mosquito species and their larval assemblages is dependent on characteristic habitat-mosaics. Mapping of this background pattern covers the mapping of mosquito assemblages.
