Abstract EN
This paper presents a study based on ecological parameters represented by diversity and richness indices applied in a community of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), at the National Forest of Caxiuanã, Melgaço municipality, state of Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon.
A total of 25,433 specimens of culicids were collected in the study, from five field collection periods, over 10 months, between 2005 and 2006.
Specimens were collected in four heights of the forest (ground level, 8 m, 16 m, and 30 m-canopy).
Diversity indices of Shannon and Berger-Parker were obtained, and indicators of dominance of species were calculated.
The species Culex portesi was dominant in this site, representing about 84% of specimens.
Measures of richness and similarity (Jaccard) were obtained for the five strata of time and four height levels.
According to the richness estimator abundance-based covered estimator (ACE) the greatest value occurred in April (2006), considering the levels of height to 16 m and on the ground.
The estimates obtained have shown quantitative parameters of mosquito populations in the region of the Forest of Caxiuanã.
