Biotopic Preferences of Adult Mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) in the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve (Vitebsk Province, Belarus)

摘要

Abstract The biotopic preferences of adults of 23 mosquito species (Diptera, Culicidae) biting humans in the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve (Vitebsk Province, Belarus) were examined. For example, 22 species were recorded in spruce forests, 19 in alder forests, 16 in pine forests, and 11 in floodplain meadows. Indices of ecological dominance, occurrence, and biotopic association are given for each species.
