Abstract: DAYA, EZEKIEL LEAL. Diversity and Habitat Characteristics of Mosquitoes in Selected Upland Areas of Cavite, Undergraduate thesis, Bachelor of Science in Biology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2016. Adviser: Jonathan R. Digma Four municipalities and one city of upland Cavite were surveyed_ Mosquito species were collected and identified up to the species level. Habitat characteristics like latitude, longitude, altitude, air temperature, humidity, wind speed, light intensity and sound were observed and recorded. Water analysis was also conducted in-situ and the water characteristics analyzed were temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen. Five mosquito species were identified to the species level. These were Aedes aegypti (61.10%), Aedes albopictus (15.27%), Culex cjuinquefasciatus (0.58%), Cule.x tritaeniorhynchms• (6.05%), and Toxorhynchites amboinensis (188%). Two were unknown species (1.73% and 12.39%). The environmental parameters included in the study were elevation (390.88-614.28 m above sea level), air temperature (26.74 -- 29.59 °C), humidity (42.11-66.50%), wind speed (0.21-1.48 m/s), light intensity (9160-16690.15 lux) and sound (54.80-66.38 db). Three physico-chemical parameters; H2O temperature (26.53 -- 29.56 °C) , pH (7.50 -- 7.74) and DO (1.42-2.33 mg/L) were also evaluated. Species — habitat association showed that habitat characteristics in different study sites have supported larval survival and distribution, It also showed association and dependence between Tx. anzboinensis and other mosquito species.
