Modelo fenológico de Ochlerotatus caspius (Pallas, 1771) (Diptera, Culicidae) en las marismas de Huelva (España) Phenological model of Ochlerotatus caspius (Pallas, 1771) (Diptera, Culicidae) in the Huelva marshes (Spain)

This study is an approximation to the prediction of the summery emergence of adults of the species of the most abundant culicidae during the summer in the Huelva marshes, Ochlerotatus caspius, based on the relationship between degree-days accumulations (water temperature) and adult captures in the Huelva marshes (SW of Spain). This relationship shows to be significantly linear for each generation of this mosquito throughout the year.. Jointly processing all data of the available years also results in a high linear correlation, statistically significant, and, consequently, the proposed equations have predictive value.
