Mosquito Data At Safe 2012-2014: Human Landing Catches in Fragmented Forest

Mosquito Data At Safe 2012-2014 contains data from the SAFE research project on the impacts of tropical deforestation and fragmentation on mosquito communities. The dataset includes a worksheet with 94 rows of human landing catch data collected at the SAFE Project between 2012 and 2013. It was authored by Hayley Brant from Imperial College London as part of PhD results.

Use Cases

• Modeling mosquito species abundance based on forest cover and disturbance gradient data.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of mosquito activity using date and moonlight illumination fields.
• Studying the impact of habitat fragmentation on specific Anopheles species counts.

Strengths

• Contains 94 rows of structured human landing catch observations.
• Includes 37 columns with detailed fields for date, location, environmental variables, and species-specific counts.
• Data is associated with a specific research project (SAFE) and PhD work from Imperial College London.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown for the overall dataset which includes 5 worksheets.
• Column-level documentation is absent for the majority of the dataset's worksheets.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
