“…The climax species Li . durhamii had two peaks as well, a very high one at high forest cover, supported by Suaza-Vasco 41 , and another with low abundance at intermediate/low forest cover. Additionally, we found five species that can be considered disturbance-generalists, because they had at least two peaks of equal abundances in different forest disturbance categories.…”

The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (IDH) is well-known in ecology providing an explanation for the role of disturbance in the coexistence of climax and colonist species. Here, we used the IDH as a framework to describe the role of forest disturbance in shaping the mosquito community structure, and to identify the ecological processes that increase the emergence of vector-borne disease. Mosquitoes were collected in central Panama at immature stages along linear transects in colonising, mixed and climax forest habitats, representing different levels of disturbance. Species were identified taxonomically and classified into functional categories (i.e., colonist, climax, disturbance-generalist, and rare). Using the Huisman-Olff-Fresco multi-model selection approach, IDH testing was done. We did not detect a unimodal relationship between species diversity and forest disturbance expected under the IDH; instead diversity peaked in old-growth forests. Habitat complexity and constraints are two mechanisms proposed to explain this alternative postulate. Moreover, colonist mosquito species were more likely to be involved in or capable of pathogen transmission than climax species. Vector species occurrence decreased notably in undisturbed forest settings. Old-growth forest conservation in tropical rainforests is therefore a highly-recommended solution for preventing new outbreaks of arboviral and parasitic diseases in anthropic environments.

“…However, a previous study conducted in a coffee-growing region of Colombia reported larvae of Trichoprosopon sp. in a Xanthosoma leaf axil (Suaza-Vasco et al ., 2015). Moreover, at least three species of Trichoprosopon are present in the Jardin and Jericó municipalities, including two species of the Pallidiventer Complex, Tr.…”

“…There are 3,554 mosquito species recorded worldwide (Harbach, 2017) of which 353 are estimated to be present in Colombia (WRBU, 2017). In this country, mosquito studies have focused mainly on the malaria vector species in lowland areas (Gutiérrez et al ., 2009; Naranjo-Díaz et al ., 2014; Ahumada et al ., 2016), dengue (Santacoloma-Varón et al ., 2010; Quintero et al ., 2014; Castrillón et al ., 2015) and arbovirus vectors (Barajas et al ., 2013; Hoyos-López et al ., 2015; Suaza-Vasco et al ., 2015). Regarding mosquito species in highland ecosystems, there are few records in Colombia and most pertain to the tribe Aedini.…”

Accurate taxonomic identification of highland mosquito species may be complicated because of the lack of comprehensive regional morphological keys and taxonomic specialists, particularly for mosquitoes of medical or ecological importance. We applied a multi-locus approach to explore the diversity of genera/species collected, to define the Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) and to perform phylogenetic clustering. Twenty MOTUs and three single sequences were revealed from 78 concatenated cox1 + ITS2 sequences, and the species name was allocated for five of these. This study provides molecular taxonomic information of culicid fauna present in high Andean mountain ecosystems in Antioquia, Colombia. However, future morphological and integrative taxonomic studies should be conducted to achieve the specific identity of all detected MOTUs.

“…Also, in Jardín municipality (ANT), nine species of the tribe Sabethini were collected in bromeliads and leaf axils of Xanthosoma in a forest environment between 2,245–2,515 m, whereas other Sabethini species were found on a different Xanthosoma sp. in an urban setting at 2,002 m in Jericó municipality (ANT), Colombia (Suaza‐Vasco et al ).…”

Information about mosquito ecology in the high mountain ecosystems of the Neotropical region is sparse. In general, few genera and species have been reported in these ecosystems and there is no information available on habitats and the mosquitoes occupying them. In the present study, specimens collected from NW Colombia in HME were grouped using larval habitat data via an Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) determination. A total of 719 mosquitoes was analyzed belonging to 44 OTUs. The analysis considered habitat features and clustered the specimens into six groups from A-F. Five of these included species from different genera, suggesting common habitat requirements. Group E with four genera, seven subgenera, and six species occupied the highest areas (above 3,000 m), whereas three groups (B, D, F) were detected at lower altitudes (1,960-2,002 m). Bromeliads were the most common larval habitat, with 47% (335/719) of the specimens; five genera, six subgenera, and eight species were identified and classified into 66% (29/44) of the OTUs. This work showed some similarities to the habitat requirements and provides a grouping system that constitutes an important baseline for the classification of mosquito fauna from high mountain ecosystems according to altitude and larval habitat.
