Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain) by Yasmina Martínez‐Barciela, Alejandro Polina, Josefina Garrido

“…A total of 766 specimens belonging to 11 species of the genus Culex (57%), Culiseta (30%) and Anopheles (13%) were identified, though the isolated observation of adult specimens of Coquillettidia and Aedes lead to the determination of eight functional groups. Mosquito abundance and diversity were significantly higher in temporary water bodies and spring season (with a median of 1–2 species more). …”
