How Do Environmental Factors Affect Mosquito Habitats?
Environmental factors play a significant role in mosquito habitat suitability and abundance:
- Temperature: Warmer temperatures can increase mosquito activity and shorten breeding cycles. - Humidity: High humidity levels create favorable conditions for mosquito survival and reproduction. - Precipitation: Rainfall provides breeding sites by creating standing water in natural and artificial containers. - Vegetation: Dense vegetation offers resting sites and protection from predators.
