Resumen

Water accumulations in vegetal structures, known as phytotelmata, serve as aquatic habitats for many insects, including mosquitoes. Among them, Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) is composed by a few species that are highly specialized and poorly known. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between sunlight conditions and the abundance of immature stages of Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) species in the axils of Eryngium pandanifolium. A forest patch with a dense population of E. pandanifolium in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River (Entre Ríos province, Argentina) was sampled twice a month between December and May. A total of 880 plants were inspected in 220 sample zones defined by a combination of location within the patch and sunlight condition. All individuals collected (n = 521) belonged to Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) hepperi (56%), Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) castroi (40%), and Culex (Phytotelmatomyia) renatoi (4%). According to generalized linear models, the habitat availability (i.e. water presence) was positively associated with sun exposure, but not with the location within the patch. Mosquito presence and abundance were positively related only to water volume. Coexistence of C. hepperi and C. castroi was more frequent than would be expected by chance. Further studies to understand the effects of sunlight and plant architecture on water dynamics are needed.
