Effects of seasonality and land use on the abundance and distribution of mosquitoes on St. Kitts, West Indies

Abstract: BackgroundHigh quality mosquito surveys that collect fine resolution local data on mosquito species’ abundances provide baseline data to help us understand potential host-pathogen-mosquito relationships, accurately predict disease transmission, and target mosquito control efforts in areas at risk of mosquito borne diseases.MethodsAs part of an investigation into arboviral sylvatic cycles on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, we carried out an island wide mosquito survey from November 2017 to March 2019.

“…By using occupancy models, the assessment of both aspects provides the accurate estimations of species distribution (Kéry et al 2010), abundance (Ocock et al 2016), metapopulation dynamics (Heard et al 2013) and specific richness patterns (Grant et al 2013). In addition, occupancy patterns of species associated with landscape attributes, including the proportion of mature vegetation, the proportion of different land uses, and altitude, have been described through these models (Zipkin et al 2009;McGrann and Furnas 2016;Valentine et al 2020). Therefore, the use of occupancy models is an important tool for assessing the response of species to land-use change and species richness patterns, which are critical aspects when considering the conservation of species at risk of extinction (Devarajan et al 2020).…”
