Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) diversity of a forest-fragment mosaic in the Amazon rain forest
To study the impact of Amazonian forest fragmentation on the mosquito fauna, an inventory of Culicidae was conducted in the upland forest research areas of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project located 60 km north of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. The culicid community was sampled monthly b...
