“…WNV and SLEV have been detected in Cx. coronator mosquitoes (Hammon and Reaves 1943, Mackay et al 2008), but the effect of this species on arbovirus transmission in areas where it has been recently found is unknown (Kelly et al 2008). Studying the link between the distribution of this species, its life history, and land use/cover in the southeastern United States is important to understanding its potential as a disease vector.…”

“…Although observations on the occurrence and distribution of Cx. coronator larvae and adults in the southeastern United States exist (Goddard et al 2006, Gray et al 2008, Kelly et al 2008, Moulis et al 2008), our study is the first that examines Cx. coronator adult distribution in relation to land use/cover.…”

“…Eleven mosquito species collected from both light and gravid traps were selected for use in statistical analyses based upon their abundance in sampling collection and/or their status as a potential arbovirus vector (Table 2) (Turell et al 2005, Cupp et al 2007, Kelly et al 2008). Given that the weather data fluctuated over the study, while the spatial data remained constant, the relationships between these factors and total mosquito abundance were analyzed independently.…”

“…The occurrence and distribution of specific mosquito species in Georgia have been documented in a number of studies (eg., King et al 1960, Smith and Floore 2001, Gray et al 2005, Kelly et al 2008). Other investigations have examined the relationship between land use/land cover data, human demographic data, climate ecological correlates, and WNV infection in birds (Gibbs et al 2006, Bradley et al 2008).…”

Mosquito community composition and population dynamics were compared to weather variables and land use/cover data during 2008 to determine which variables affected population dynamics at the J.W. Jones Ecological Research Center in southwestern Georgia. Models relating adult mosquito distributions to weather variables and time of year were compared using Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) model selection. Precipitation, temperature, humidity, and KeetchByram Drought Index were important factors correlated with mosquito abundance or presence/absence for the species considered. A cluster analysis, which grouped eight sites based on the percentages of land use/cover and hydric soils located in a 1-km radius surrounding collection sites, and an indicator species analysis were used to investigate the associations among 11 mosquito species and sites with similar land use/cover. Aedes albopictus (Skuse), Culex coronator Dyar & Knab, Culex quinquefasciatus Say, and Culex salinarius Coquillett were associated with sites that had the most anthropogenic influence, while Coquillettidia perturbans (Walker) and Psorophora ferox (von Humboldt) were associated with natural land cover such as wetlands and forested land. This study demonstrates that regional climate and land use/cover data can be predictive of the population dynamics of certain mosquito populations and is the first to examine how the distribution of Cx. coronator adults relate to land use/cover in the southeastern United States.

Isolated wetlands are ideal model systems to examine linkages between environmental change, complex food webs, and the ecology of mosquito-borne diseases. Through long-term studies, we have evaluated the diversity among plant, invertebrate, and amphibian species of relatively undisturbed isolated wetlands. Based on preliminary evidence from impaired wetlands, we have developed a conceptual model to examine how human land use and climate change may affect wetland ecosystem functions that ultimately link to the proliferation of mosquito-borne diseases through the alteration of food webs and mosquito habitat. Our research framework initially requires the development of a wetland condition ranking system for a large group of isolated wetlands based on potential habitat for mosquitoes that vector disease. Secondly, it identifies potential changes in ecosystem function that specifically address the role of aquatic fauna in mediating mosquito-borne infectious diseases. Ultimately, understanding ecological functions and services will help focus the need for better management practices and potential regulation of impacts to isolated wetland habitats in the USA.
