“…Our analysis does not consider components of microclimate and microhabitat that influence both mosquito biological rates and rates of trapping (e.g., wind velocity, shade, and vegetative detritus). [75][76][77] In addition, mosquito data were integrated from seven local and state health departments, each with distinct histories of establishment, sampling design, implementation strategies, and data collection protocols. We accounted for differences in duration of trapping based on personal communication with vector control officers and estimates of sample collection procedures; however, precise information on trap deployment times were not available.…”

Aedes albopictus is a vector of arboviruses with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The northern limit of Ae. albopictus in the northeastern United States runs through New York state (NYS) and Connecticut. We present a landscape-level analysis of mosquito abundance measured by daily counts of Ae. albopictus from 338 trap sites in 12 counties during May-September 2017. During the study period, the mean number of Ae. albopictus caught per day of trapping across all sites was 3.21. We constructed four sets of negative binomial generalized linear models to evaluate how trapping methodology, land cover, as well as temperature and precipitation at multiple time intervals influenced Ae. albopictus abundance. Biogents-Sentinel (BGS) traps were 2.78 times as efficient as gravid traps and 1.49 times as efficient as CO 2 -baited CDC light traps. Greater proportions of low-and medium-intensity development and low proportions of deciduous cover around the trap site were positively associated with increased abundance, as were minimum winter temperature and March precipitation. The cumulative precipitation within a 28-day time window before the date of collection had a nonlinear relationship with abundance, such that greater cumulative precipitation was associated with increased abundance until approximately 70 mm, above which there was a decrease in abundance. We concluded that populations are established in Nassau, Suffolk, and New York City counties in NYS; north of these counties, the species is undergoing population invasion and establishment. We recommend that mosquito surveillance programs monitoring the northward invasion of Ae. albopictus place BGS traps at sites chosen with respect to land cover.

“…Culex quinquefasciatus larvae were counted and placed directly into containers. The experiment was run with a single larval density (20 larvae per container) consistent with other studies (Yee et al 2015, Rogers and Yee 2019). The experiment produced 128 containers (4 food levels × 2 pollen types × 2 species × 8 replicates).…”

“…Both the quantity and quality of food assimilated by the larvae affect mosquito life history traits. For instance, an abundant supply of nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, in the diet of mosquitoes has been correlated with higher survival and larger body sizes (Ye-Ebiyo et al 2000, Winters and Yee 2012, Gilbreath et al 2013, Yee et al 2015, Asmare et al 2017, Roger and Yee 2019). With most diets, mosquito larvae are able to obtain compounds like amino acids, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, which they use throughout their development to fuel their metamorphosis into adults (Timmermann and Briegel 1999, Briegel et al 2001, Ng'habi et al 2008).…”

Mosquito larvae often subsist on inputs of terrestrial-derived resources, including leaves and dead insects. However, seasonal inputs of plant pollen is an underexplored resource for many species. We compared the effects of three levels (low, medium, high) of two pollen types (corn, pine) on development, mass, and survival in Anopheles quadrimaculatus (Say) and Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) (Diptera: Culcidae). We also examined the nutrient content of adults (%nitrogen, %carbon, C:N) and stable isotopes (δ15N, δ13C). Culex quinquefasciatus had the highest survival rates when grown on high and medium pine pollen compared with low pine. Survival of Culex quinquefasciatus was generally higher compared to that of An. quadrimaculatus on any level of pine, with the latter species having higher survival in high corn. Nutrient content for An. quadrimaculatus did not vary significantly in either pollen type or amount but were more enriched in δ15N in corn pollen relative to pine pollen. For Cx. quinquefasciatus, %N decreased and C:N ratio increased across low to high amounts of corn. Adults raised in corn had generally more δ13C compared to pine pollen. No developmental differences across diets were observed for either species, however both sexes of Cx. quinquefasciatus were generally larger when grown in high pine and medium and high corn pollen compared with other treatments. The poor performance of An. quadrimaculatus on corn pollen was unexpected, however, we show a benefit of corn pollen to Cx. quinquefasciatus with implications for West Nile virus transmission in the United States, especially around agricultural areas where corn is grown.
