Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of weather factors, temperature (T), relative humidity (RH) and wind velocity (WV) on the abundance of Cx . ( Cux .) pipiens L. and Cx . ( Cux .) quinquefasciatus . Say, the two common and important mosquito species in the western coast of Saudi Arabia. The two species had the same ranges of T (15.00-30.00°C), RH (8.00-72.00%) and WV (0.10- 8.06 Km/h). Cx. quinquefasciatus had insignificantly (P˃0.05) lower means of the three factors than those of Cx. pipiens. Regression analysis indicated that abundance of Cx. pipiens and Cx . quinquefasciatus negatively related to T (regression coefficient, b=-0.06 and -0.01 for the two species, respectively) and WV (b=-0.40 and -0.16 for the two species, respectively) and positively related to RH (b=0.05 for both species). Such factors accounted for 81% and 76% of the variance in abundance of Cx. pipiens and Cx. quinquefasciatus , respectively while the remaining parts (19% and 24% for the two species, respectively) may be attributed to other factors mainly rainfall.

气候因素对沙特阿拉伯西海岸库蚊和致倦库蚊成虫数量的影响

本研究旨在检验天气因素、温度（T）、相对湿度（RH）和风速（WV）对Cx丰度的影响。（Cux.）pipiens L.和Cx。（Cux.）致倦型。比如说，沙特阿拉伯西海岸两种常见而重要的蚊子。这两个物种的T（15.00-30.00°C）、RH（8.00-72.00%）和WV（0.10-8.06 Km/h）范围相同。致倦库蚊的三个因子的平均值均低于库蚊（P＜0.05）。回归分析表明，尖音琴和尖音琴的丰度。致倦型与T（回归系数，b分别为-0.06和-0.01）和WV（b分别为-0.40和-0.16）呈负相关，与RH呈正相关（b均为0.05）。这些因素分别占库蚊和致倦库蚊丰度变化的81%和76%，而其余部分（两个物种分别为19%和24%）可能归因于其他因素，主要是降雨。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
