Mosquitoes Trap

Capture results of mosquitoes from various locations in Edmonton. These collections are from standard New Jersey light traps that are commonly used to record changes in abundance of mosquitoes before and after control campaigns and to compare seasonal and annual fluctuations in population. Since not all mosquito species are attracted equally to light traps, the City uses a variety of other trapping and survey methods (with their own limitations) to monitor mosquitoes. Not all trap collection sites are factored into the historical averages. Some data can be incomplete due to trap failure. Some trap locations change over time. Trap collections reflect, not absolute population levels, but mosquito activity, which is influenced by changing environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, wind, etc.). The weekly averages do not include any male mosquitoes or any females of species that do not typically bite people. Each data set reflects the mosquito activity of the week previous to the collection date. ** Source ** [Mosquitoes Trap Data | City of Edmonton Open Data Catalog](http://data.edmonton.ca/Environmental-Services/2011-Mosquitoes-Trap-Data/5zeu-wkpv)捕获埃德蒙顿不同区域的蚊虫样本。本次采集使用标准新泽西灯光诱捕器（New Jersey light traps），此类诱捕器常用于记录蚊虫防控行动前后的种群丰度变化，以及对比种群的季节与年度波动情况。由于并非所有蚊虫物种对灯光诱捕器的趋性一致，埃德蒙顿市还采用了多种其他诱捕与调查方法（各有其局限性）以监测蚊虫种群。并非所有诱捕点位的数据都会纳入历史平均值计算。部分数据可能因诱捕器故障而存在缺失。部分诱捕点位会随时间发生变更。诱捕采集结果反映的并非蚊虫种群的绝对数量，而是蚊虫活动水平，该水平受温度、湿度、风力等不断变化的环境条件影响。周度平均值不包含雄性蚊虫，以及通常不叮咬人类的雌性蚊虫。每份数据集均对应采集日期前一周的蚊虫活动情况。 ** 数据来源 ** [蚊虫诱捕数据 | 埃德蒙顿市开放数据目录](http://data.edmonton.ca/Environmental-Services/2011-Mosquitoes-Trap-Data/5zeu-wkpv)
