| Description: |
Understanding how mosquitoes are distributed in relation to changes in natural vegetation and human-made areas is crucial but challenging in the tropics. A dataset based on mangroves is presented and made available online through GBIF at https://doi.org/10.15468/k7ru2k to study the ecology of Neotropical mosquito assemblages (Arthropoda: Diptera: Culicidae) in French Guiana. A total of 334 collection events were carried out across a variety of coastal and estuarine mangrove habitats that differed in terms of their species composition, structure, age, and proximity to urban settlements. The dataset comprises a total of 21,765 mosquitoes, belonging to 14 genera and 62 species, and new collections can be added to it. The voucher specimens and their associated DNA are stored at the Institut Pasteur de la Guyane Medical Entomology Unit. |
