Evidências preliminares de associação entre espécies de mosquitos em Mata Atlântica no Estado de Santa Catarina, (Diptera: Culicidae)

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

A positive coefficient of association (affinity) between Runchomyia reversa and Anopheles cruzii and high (0.38) index were observed, probably due to the similar breeding places (bromeliads) and to landing habits. Furthermore, a high (0.92) index of association between Oc. scapularis and Wyeomyia incaudata, with low coefficient of association was observed.
