Mosquito larvae collections across the gradient of forest physiognomies. This drawing represents the vegetation complexity and mosquito larvae natural containers and ground waters which varied accordingly as follows: a) ephemeral ground pool; b) terrestrial bromeliad plant (Quesnelia sp.); c) terrestrial bromeliad plant (Nidularium sp.); d) ephemeral ground pool; e) epiphytic bromeliad plant (Vriesea sp.); f) ephemeral ground pool; g) epiphytic bromeliad plant (Vriesea sp.); h) leaf axils in palm tree (Euterpe sp.); i) leaf axils in phytotelmata (Calathea sp.); j) hollow internode of bamboo plant (Merostachys sp.); k) tree hole in long-lived tree; l) ephemeral ground pool; m) flower bracts in phytotelmata (Heliconia sp.) and n) margins of permanent lotic waters.
