Résumé
This dataset presents the results of mosquito sampling conducted in Montpellier, France, from April to October 2023. Sampling was carried out by the University of Montpellier (UM) and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD) under the V2MOC project (Végétalisation des villes et risque vectoriel en Occitanie (https://rivoc.edu.umontpellier.fr/files/2024/05/V%C2%B2MOC-site-web.pdf)).
Data were collected using BG Pro© traps equipped with a lure attractant and a daily CO₂ source. Traps were deployed in two urban parks (the Botanical Garden and Parc de l'Aiguelongue), three residential neighborhoods (Aiguerelles, Lemasson, and Soulas), and four sites in the city center. Sampling occurred on two consecutive days each month from April to October 2023, with each sampling session lasting 48 hours. Detailed sampling methods are provided in the "Sampling Methods" section of the metadata.
Additionally, we provide three types of information to enrich this dataset:
For all mosquitoes: species identification, abundance by sex, available in the Occurrence extension.
For all female mosquitoes: engorgement status, and for female Aedes albopictus, physiological status, available in the Extended Measurements or Facts extension.
For all sampling events: a set of environmental data (meteorological, land cover, and microclimatic), collected in the field or sourced from open-access databases, available in the Measurement or Facts extension.
The presence of "0" does not indicate the absence of a species; it simply means that the species was not captured during this sampling collection.
