Abstract. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is still a problem in some countries, resulting in 390 millioninfections a year in the world. DHF vaccine has not found so the treatment is focused on vector controls.Entomological data describing the bio ecology of vectors in the region can help vector control diseases moreeffectively. The study aims at assessing distribution, characteristic and risk factors in the habitat of Aedes larvain the DHF endemic region of West Ranomeeto subdistrict of Southeast Sulawesi province. This study is ananalytic observational study with a sectional study approach. Data collection was carried out using singlelarva method in 600 houses by purposive sampling. Data analysis uses chi square’s descriptive analysis andlogistics multinomial regression. The result shows larva density in Sindangkasih higher than Jati Bali. Ae.aegypti dominated in Sindangkasih and Ae. albopictus dominated in Jati Bali. Buckets, dispenser tray,refrigerator tray, container made of cements and plastics and container with volume <1 L and 20-100 L arerisk factors affected the exixtence of larvae in Sindangkasih (p<0.05). Plastic containers and dark-coloredcontainer are risk factors that influence the larva’s existence in Jati Bali (p<0.05). Differences in charateristicsof the larvae affect mosquito oviposition in Sindangkasih and Jati Bali. Therefore, it is important to monitorvector populations dynamic and breeding mosquito to prevent outbreak.Keywords: Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, , Sindangkasih, Jati Bali, larval habitat

“…The number of habitat surface areas, water depth, the occurrence of the canopy, the turbidity of the water, and the kind of substrate were all significant factors that influenced the occurrence of mosquito larvae. Mosquitos have a preference for oviposition in urban areas (Delatte et al 2013), outdoor containers (Kroth et al 2019), clear water (Gopalakrishnan et al 2013, water with vegetation (Kroth et al 2019), and more significant surface areas (Reiskind and Zarrabi 2012;Gopalakrishnan et al 2013). The elaboration of phytotelmata as Aedes breeding places is still limited.…”

Abstract. Fauziyah S, Susanti SF, Hariyono H, Fazirrah V, Novitasari AE, Fadhilah N, Sucipto TH, Naw SW. 2023. Phytotelmata accounts for Aedes breeding places in Mantup Sub-district, Lamongan District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 4820-4828. Dengue infection still remains a public health problem in Indonesia, which is classified as a tropical country. Some environmental factors that contribute to the transmission of dengue infection are human migration, human activity, food supply, and climate change. The other type of breeding place is natural breeding habitats, called phytotelmata. This study aims to investigate the diversity of Aedes species in phytotelmata from Mantup Sub-district, Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia. The analytical observational study was conducted with a purposive sampling design. Mosquito larvae collection was carried out from February to March 2023 in Mantup Sub-district, an endemic region of dengue infection in Lamongan. Immature mosquitoes were reared in the laboratory till they merged into adult mosquitoes. This study found four groups of phytotelmata: leaf axils, bamboo joints, fallen leaves, and coconut shells. Leaf axils were the predominant type of phytotelmata (86.67%). Meanwhile, the lowest percentage was coconut shells and fallen leaves (3.33%). A total of 56 mosquito larvae consisting of 12 male Aedes aegypti, 21 female Ae. aegypti, 12 male Aedes albopictus, and 11 female Ae. albopictus were collected from 30 observation points. Eleven families of phytotelmata were found in this study. The predominant family was Araceae (33.3%), while the lowest were Agavaceae, Commelinaceae, Marantaceae, and Liliaceae (3.33%). Phytotelmata accounts for mosquito breeding places, which should be noticed and considered in dengue vector control programs.

The reproductive success of mosquitoes is heavily influenced by females' ability to select suitable oviposition sites for the proper development of their offspring. Many of these potential habitats may harbor predators, and the detection of these predators is crucial for assessing the risk of predation, which can, in turn, influence the behavior of the prey. However, there are often trade-offs to consider, which can impact the life history of these organisms. In our study, we investigated the oviposition preferences and larval behavioral responses of the Aedes aegypti mosquito when exposed to cues from predators and the actual presence of predation by Libellulidae (Odonata) larvae. We observed the mosquito's choices regarding oviposition with and without predation cues for a duration of ten weeks, following 48 hours of exposure. Additionally, we measured larval behavior across various treatments, including those with predation cues, predator cues, the presence of larvae, and controls with only water. Our findings revealed that the highest preference for oviposition occurred in containers with high organic matter content, regardless the presence of both predator cues and actual predators. Furthermore, we noted significant changes in larval behavior in response to predation cues, including evasive behaviors. When facing the risk of predation, larvae spent more time near the container's edges and exhibited discrete feeding behaviors or avoidance of the risk of predation. Conversely, in the absence of predation risk, larvae explored the entire container, swimming vigorously. These results highlight the significance of anti-predatory behaviors triggered by the recognition of predation cues in the context of Ae. aegypti's reproductive success.
