Prediction of mosquito vector abundance for three species in the Anopheles gambiae complex
The predicted equilibrium abundances of the three species showed potentially high levels of geographical overlap, niche overlap and evidence for stable coexistence despite substantial interspecific competition. Improving collection of longitudinal species abundance data across the spatial range of the An. gambiae species complex will facilitate future explorations of causal hypotheses that relate vector abundance to control measures, malaria interventions and meteorological conditions.
