To ascertain mosquito species-specific oviposition height preferences, a study was conducted evaluating the response of field populations of container-inhabiting mosquitoes to water, oak (Quercus spp.),or oak-pine (Pinus spp.) infusion-baited ovitraps in four suburban and four sylvatic habitats in north central Florida. In total, 48 ovitraps, 24 suspended at each height of 1 or 6 m (near the ground or tree canopy, respectively), were monitored weekly for 5 mo. Throughout our study, we collected 13,276 mosquito eggs, representing five species from four genera, the most common being Aedes triseriatus (Say), Aedes albopictus Skuse, and Orthopodomyia signifera (Coquillett). Significantly more Ae. triseriatus and Ae. albopictus eggs were oviposited in containers with oak and oak-pine infusions compared with water alone. Significantly more Ae. albopictus eggs were recovered from traps at 1 m in suburban habitats, whereas more Ae. triseriatus eggs were recovered at 6 m in sylvatic habitats.
为了确定蚊种特异性的产卵高度偏好，本研究评估了野外种群对水、橡树（Quercus spp.）或松-柏（Pinus spp.）灌丛诱饵诱卵器的反应，这些诱卵器在佛罗里达州中北部的四个郊区和四个森林生境中以 1 米或 6 米（分别靠近地面和树冠）的高度各设置了 24 个。总共监测了 5 个月，每周监测 48 个诱卵器。在整个研究过程中，我们共收集了 13276 个蚊子卵，代表来自四个属的五个物种，最常见的是三斑按蚊（Say）、白纹伊蚊（Skuse）和美洲按蚊（Coquillett）。与单独用水相比，用橡树和松-柏灌丛汁液的容器中产卵的三斑按蚊和白纹伊蚊明显更多。在郊区生境中，1 米高的诱捕器中回收的白纹伊蚊卵明显更多，而在森林生境中，6 米高的诱捕器中回收的三斑按蚊卵更多。
