Abstract
Objective: To explore the calculation method of dominance degree from
biomass, time scale and space scale, so as to provide a reference basis
for more realistic reflection of species dominance degree. Methods:
Excel was used for statistical analysis of mosquito monitoring data in
Wuxi from 2012 to 2021, and t-test was used to test the variability of
three calculation methods, namely Time-Space index, Berger Parker index
and McNaughton index. Results: The three indices of Culex pipiens
pallens and Aedes albopictus were basically consistent, and there was no
significant difference between them; Time-Space index of Culex
tritaeniorhynchus and Anopheles sinensis was significantly lower than
Berger-Parker index (P<0.05), and was close to the significant
level (P=0.0762, P=0.0621) lower than McNaughton index; The difference
of coefficient of variation among the three calculated results was
4.63%, which was significantly lower than that of the other three
mosquitoes (P<0.05). Conclusion: Time-Space index can
significantly improve the resolution of species distribution
heterogeneity, and better reflect the true state of relative dominance
among species.
