Abstract The goal of this survey was to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of Culicoides Latreille species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and their relationship with environmental variables in Salta, northwestern Argentina. Culicoides were collected monthly from January 2003 through December 2005. The influence of the climatic variables on population abundance was analyzed with a multilevel Poisson regression. A total of 918 specimens belonging to five species were collected. The…

Temporal Variation in Species Abundance and Richness of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in a Tropical Equatorial Area

Investigating whether temperature, rainfall, and humidity influence the annual distribution of Culicoides Latreille 1809, species abundance and richness in rural areas on São Luís Island in the state of Maranhão, Brazil found species richness and abundance were greater during the rainy season than during the dry season.

Abundance of Culicoides (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) species in salt marshes of the Patos Lagoon estuary, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: influence of climatic variables

Salt marshes are intertidal areas with vegetation dominated by grasses, rushes and sedges, where many Diptera occur due to the abundance of substrates available for their development. Culicoides are…
