The local fauna including 50 species is more diverse than it could be predicted on the climatic and zoogeographical characteristics. The results showed that high speciesand life-form diversity of the Hungarian mosquito fauna originated from the relatively high landscape diversity of the humid habitats.

متن کاملClimatic variability and landscape heterogeneity impact urban mosquito diversity and vector abundance and infection
Urban habitat heterogeneity can modify interactions across species and lead to spatially fine grained differences in b-diversity patterns and their associated ecosystem services. Here, we study the impacts of landscape heterogeneity and climatic variability on: (1) the richness and diversity patterns of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and (2) the abundance and West Nile virus infection rate of ...
