Community analysis of the abundance and diversity of mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) in three European countries at different latitudes

Table 2 Mosquito species diversity by country and habitat. Estimators of taxonomic diversity with values for Simpson’s Index of diversity, Shannon-Wiener’s diversity and Shannon-Wiener’s evenness for three habitats (farms, peri-urban and wetlands) in three countries (Sweden, the Netherlands and Italy)
