Microclimate and the development rate of mosquito vectors

This data sets includes microclimate data, mosquito development rate and mosquito wing size measurements collected from primary forest, logged forest and oil palm plantations. Microclimate data was recorded using Ibutton data loggers which measured soil temeprature at given sample sites. All mosquito eggs collected were reared under field conditions. Each mosquito sample was monitored daily in order to record the proportion emerging at each developemnt stage (larva, pupa and adult) along with the numebr of transition days between each development stage. Adult wing length (of each adult mosquito collected) was used as a simple proxy to measure adult vectorial capacity.
