Each species' activity index , mosquitoes per trap-night, coloured by genus ( Culex / Aedes / Anopheles / others).
This is a within-site activity index, not a population . A single big-catch night can lift a species; the share of trap-nights it shows up on (the Swarm Board's other axis) is the steadier read.
Written from this site's live data.
Top bar: the genus shares of the catch. Bottom bar: the sex split.
CO2 traps catch mostly host-seeking females by design, so a nearly-all-female bar is the trap working, not a population sex ratio.
The monsoon pulse
Mosquito activity by week of the year, averaged across years, with the site's summer-rain window shaded behind it. In the desert the pulse rides the monsoon.
Showing this site onlyThe line is the median activity index (mosquitoes per trap-night) by week of the year across all sampled years (the median, not the mean, because mosquito catch is wildly skewed and one fluke year shouldn't define the peak); the band is the middle 50% of years (the inter-quartile spread). The green shading , where shown, is the site's summer-rain / monsoon window from its precipitation climatology (drawn only at sites with a real NEON gauge and a summer rain peak).
Weeks with no trapping are gaps, not zeros. The pulse following the rains is the pattern this app is built to show, correlational , within this one site. Rainfall is shown only where a NEON gauge exists.
As more collection occasions (each trap-night is one) accumulate, how many species turn up. A flattening curve means most catchable species have been found.
Chao2 is an incidence-based, bias-corrected minimum estimate of richness. CO2 traps miss day-active and rare species, so the true total is higher than what is caught.

Each dot is a species , placed by ubiquity (% of trap-nights it shows up on, a steadier axis than the index) and its activity index (mosquitoes per trap-night).
Tap a dot to pin its card; open any species' full profile. Faint dots are caught on too few nights to place reliably.
Each dot is a species, how widespread × how busy. Culex (West Nile group) is flagged. Tap to pin a card.

One protocol, 46 sites, a continent of climates
Each dot is a NEON site, placed by its warm-season climate against its mosquito community. Deserts read against monsoon rain, cooler sites against degree-days. Tap a dot to pin its card or jump to that site.
All 46 NEON sites, not just this oneWarmer, wetter sites tend to hold a richer, busier mosquito community. Each dot is a site; size = survey effort (trap-nights); colour = biome; the gold diamond is the site you're viewing. The activity-index view uses a log scale because one site can run thousands of times busier than another.
This is space-for-time , 46 different places observed at once, not one place warming or wetting, so it's correlational, confounded by biome and latitude. Activity is a within-site index, so compare sites by direction, not by who has the higher raw number . Precipitation shows only the sites with a NEON gauge.
Search the whole network
Look across every bundled NEON site at once. Find a mosquito species and see where it has been caught, or pull the sites that pass a threshold you set. Everything runs on the bundled data, so it is instant, and you can jump straight to any site.
All 46 NEON sites, not just this onePick any mosquito species in the network. The table lists every bundled site where it has been caught, with that site's activity index for the species (whole-trap-scaled catch per trap-night, a within-site index, not an absolute ranking ) and its ubiquity (the share of attempted trap-nights it showed up on).
Culex species are flagged, they are the main West Nile virus vector group.
Set a cutoff and the table returns the sites that pass it. Culex share is the percent of a site's whole-trap catch that is Culex (the West Nile vector group). The activity index is the site's mosquitoes per trap-night.
Both are within-site indices, not absolute rankings , so read them as direction, not as a leaderboard.
