Mosquito community composition in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Mosquito community dynamics in urban areas are influenced by an array of both social and ecological factors. Human socioeconomic factors (SEF) can be related to mosquito abundance and diversity as urban mosquito development sites are modified by varying human activity, e.g. level of abandoned structures or amount of accumulated trash. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationships among mosquito diversity, populations of Aedes aegypti, and SEF in a tropical urban setting. Mosquitoes were collected using BG Sentinel 2 traps and CDC light traps during three periods between late 2018 and early 2019 in San Juan, Puerto Rico and were identified to species. Socioeconomic factors (i.e., median household income, population density, college-level educational attainment, unemployment, health insurance coverage, percentage of households below the poverty line, amount of trash, and level of abandoned homes) were measured using foot surveys and U.S. Census data. We found 19 species with...

城市地区蚊类群落动态受一系列社会与生态因素共同影响。人类社会经济因素（Socioeconomic Factors, SEF）与蚊类丰度和多样性密切相关，因城市蚊类滋生地会随人类活动强度的差异发生改变，例如废弃建筑占比、堆积垃圾量等。本研究旨在探究热带城市环境中蚊类多样性、埃及伊蚊（Aedes aegypti）种群与社会经济因素之间的关联。研究于2018年末至2019年初的三个时段，在波多黎各圣胡安地区使用BG Sentinel 2诱捕器与CDC诱蚊灯诱捕蚊类，并完成物种鉴定。社会经济因素包括家庭收入中位数、人口密度、大学学历人口占比、失业率、医保覆盖率、贫困家庭占比、垃圾堆积量以及废弃住宅占比，通过实地走访调查与美国人口普查数据完成采集测算。本研究共鉴定出19种蚊类，
