“…The ancestral of Anophelinae and Culicinae subfamilies occurred in the Jurassic period around 182 MYA (HPD95%: 145.88–232.95). Similar estimates were obtained in other studies around 190–195 MYA 55 , 56 . Different evolutionary rates of molecular markers, limited species sampling and different algorithms used to reconstruct the species phylogeny could result in different time estimates 13 .…”

“…Most of the different genera emerged in this range of time, but some recent speciation occurred in the Culex genus. Interestingly, a burst in mammals speciation also occurred in the Neogene period likely driving the speciation of these species at that time 55 , 82 . Furthermore, the new phylogenetic knowledge will allow us to propose new hypotheses about some mosquito traits emergence and maintenance related with vector competence.…”

Mosquitoes are insects of medical importance due their role as vectors of different pathogens to humans. There is a lack of information about the evolutionary history and phylogenetic positioning of the majority of mosquito species. Here we characterized the mitogenomes of mosquito species through low-coverage whole genome sequencing and data mining. A total of 37 draft mitogenomes of different species were assembled from which 16 are newly-sequenced species. We datamined additional 49 mosquito mitogenomes, and together with our 37 mitogenomes, we reconstructed the evolutionary history of 86 species including representatives from 15 genera and 7 tribes. Our results showed that most of the species clustered in clades with other members of their own genus with exception of Aedes genus which was paraphyletic. We confirmed the monophyletic status of the Mansoniini tribe including both Coquillettidia and Mansonia genus. The Aedeomyiini and Uranotaeniini were consistently recovered as basal to other tribes in the subfamily Culicinae, although the exact relationships among these tribes differed between analyses. These results demonstrate that low-coverage sequencing is effective to recover mitogenomes, establish phylogenetic knowledge and hence generate basic fundamental information that will help in the understanding of the role of these species as pathogen vectors.

“…The split between the two subfamilies: Anophelinae and Culicinae occurred in the Jurassic period around 182 MYA (HPD95%:145.88-232.95). Similar estimates were obtained in other studies around 190-195 MYA 67,68 . Different evolutionary rate of molecular markers, incomplete species sampling and different algorithms used to reconstruct the species phylogeny could result in different time estimates (Hao et al (2017)).…”

Mosquitoes are insects of medical importance due their role as vectors of different pathogens to humans and other mammals. There is a lack of information about the evolutionary history and phylogenetic positioning of the majority of mosquitoes species. Here we sequenced the mitogenomes of mosquitoes species through low-coverage sequencing and data mining. A total of 37 draft mitogenomes were assembled representing 11 genera and 16 of those were sequenced for the first time. The recovered mitogenomes showed a coverage breadth average of 81.24%. Most of the species were clustered in monophyletic clades with other members of their own genus with exception of the Aedini tribe which was paraphyletic corroborating other findings. We established for the first time the monophyletic status of eight species from the tribe Mansoniini including both Coquillettidia and Mansonia genus and established the basal positioning of Aedeomyiini and Uranotaeniini tribes regarding the Culicinae subfamily. Molecular clock dated the Culicidae family emergence around 273 MYA and the split between Anophelinae and Culicinae subfamily around 182 MYA in the Jurassic period. Low-coverage sequencing is effective to recover mitogenomes, establish phylogenetic knowledge generating basic fundamental information to the understanding of the role of these species as pathogen vectors.

“…It is probable that abiotic factors other than those monitored herein may influence mosquito abundance between sampled areas, such as luminosity, sounds and CO 2 , as examples (e.g. Lapshin and Vorontsov 2018; Smith et al 2018; Tang et al 2018). The short sampling period (15 min) may also have influenced both the mosquito diversity and abundance collected.…”

Habitat use by Neotropical mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae): vegetation structure and edge effects

et al. 2020

Knowing which habitats (e.g. forest interiors or edges) are used by mosquitos and their relationship with possible environmental changes can assist in the development of public policies for the prevention of mosquito‐borne disease epidemics. This study assessed the influence of abiotic factors and vegetation structure on a mosquito community in an Atlantic rainforest remnant frequented by humans. Biting mosquito collections were undertaken by two operators and carried out every 2 weeks between October 2014 and October 2015, during the afternoon, at three points within the forest: A1 (40 m from the edge), A2 (220 m from the edge) and A3 (270 m from the edge). A significant difference was found between tree circumference at breast height from the different areas, as well as in tree height. However, no significant difference in the analysed abiotic factors between areas was observed. The paired comparison of mosquito abundance between the sample areas indicated that area A3 was different from area A1. Additionally, the abundance of the analysed species (Aedes crinifer, Aedes scapularis, Aedes serratus, Psorophora ferox, Sabethes aurescens, Sabethes identicus, Trichoprosopon pallidiventer and Wyeomyia limai) increased with distance from the forest edge. This observation may suggest that the abundance of certain species may be indicative of the level of disturbance of a forest.
