This data product contains the quality-controlled, native sampling resolution data from NEON's mosquito sampling protocol. Mosquito abundance and diversity are sampled at regular intervals by NEON field technicians at all terrestrial sites. For additional details on protocol, see the TOS Protocol and Procedure: Mosquito Sampling. Following collection, all samples are sent to a professional taxonomist who determines the species composition and sex of mosquitoes from a representative subsample. Identified mosquitoes are then processed for pathogen analysis or preserved for final archiving. Products resulting from this sampling and processing include: records of when mosquitoes were sampled, taxonomic and abundance data for a subset of mosquitoes captured, and information about the material archived from the sample. For additional details, see the user guide, protocols, and science design listed in the Documentation section in this data product's details webpage. Latency: The expected time from data and/or sample collection in the field to data publication is as follows, for each of the data tables (in days) in the downloaded data package.
