These investigations do not normally include peri-urban areas, despite their significant epidemiological interest. To address these gaps, an entomological survey was carried out in 2016 and 2017 in three aquatic ecosystems located on the outskirts of the city of Logroño, in northern Spain: the Iregua River and La Grajera (La Rioja) and Las Cañas Reservoirs (Navarra). Mosquitoes were captured using BG-Sentinel traps baited with CO2 and BG-lure, as well as through the human landing collection method. In total, 6793 mosquito specimens were captured, representing 24 taxa within six genera. A specific PCR based on the ITS2 gene was used to differentiate members of the Anopheles claviger complex, and all individuals were identified as An. claviger sensu stricto. La Grajera had the most diverse culicid fauna, with 19 taxa, followed by Las Cañas (n = 15) and the Iregua River (n = 13). The composition and abundance of Culicidae varied across the aquatic ecosystem. We observed that the different hydrological management practices of each environment could play a key role in determining the abundance of mosquito genera. The overall risk of mosquito bites in the study area is expected to be relatively low and will depend on the freshwater ecosystem and the time of year. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.1 2023 BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION 30 / 75 = 0.4 2023 Q2 T2 ECOLOGY 100 / 197 = 0.508 2023 Q3 T2 0.585 2023 Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) 2023 Q1 Ecology 2023 Q2 Nature and Landscape Conservation 2023 Q2 Ecological Modeling 2023 Q2 3.4 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Alarcón-Elbal, Pedro María Blanco-Sierra, Laura Delacour-Estrella, Sarah Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7046-2997 De Blas, Ignacio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1204-4356 Oteo, José A. 1009 773 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
