Geography comments: "at the Ecological Station of Samuel, in the municipality of Candeias do Jamari... The study site is bounded to the west by the Jamari River and the reservoir of the Samuel Hydroelectric plant, and is contiguous with the Jamari National Forest"
Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest
Substrate: ground surface
MAT: 25.5
MAP: 2300.0
Habitat comments: "an area of primary forest. The vegetation is peculiar, with predominance of the dense 'terra firme' (dry land) forest, interspersed 'varzea' (seasonally flooded) forest, as well as flooded forest along the streams.

The local temperature oscillates between 21ºC and 32ºC, with an annual average of 25.5ºC"

Methods
Life forms: mosquitoes
Sites: 3
Sampling methods: no design,baited,hand capture
Sample size: 230 individuals
Years: 1990
Sampling comments: "The studies were performed... nearly one year after the construction of the Samuel Hy- droelectric plant, when the reservoir had already been filled up... Mosquito collections were performed at three sites 1km apart in the Ecological Station of Samuel, nearly 50km from the dam. Collections were carried out at each site on alternate days. Mosquitoes were collected on a human bait (on his own legs) at least three times a week"
