Costa Rica mosquito community species occurrence and site environmental data, July - August 2017

Field-caught mosquitoes captured from sites with varying land uses and land cover in southwestern Costa Rica were identified by DNA sequencing and morphologically (Aedes genus only). The file "SpeciesSiteData_CRMosquitoes_4Dec2023.csv" contains, for each site included in the survey, presence-absence data for each species observed, and environmental variables relating to land use, tree cover, and climate. Land use categories, GPS coordinates, and elevation were recorded by the field team at the time of sample collection. Tree cover values were calculated from a raster of fine-scale tree cover created by Echeverri et al., available at https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.1ns1rn8w7. Mean annual temperature was extracted from the WorldClim bioclim dataset (https://www.worldclim.org/data/worldclim21.html). The file "OTUSequences_8Feb2021.csv" contains the cleaned DNA sequences, grouped by OTU, that were used for taxonomic identification.
