A mangrove-based dataset to study the ecology of Neotropical mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in French Guiana

In French Guiana, occurrences of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in these habitats remain largely understudied. This dataset has been designed to document standardized sampling events with the relative abundance of species recorded across a variety of coastal and estuarine mangrove habitats.

It compiles 21,765 mosquito occurrence records from 334 sampling events conducted between October 2023 and July 2025, and is open to updates and additional data. Its aim is to improve knowledge of mosquito species spatio-temporal distribution and assemblage composition in these coastal ecosystems.
