I have worked on researching mosquito ecology since 2011. Initially, my work was done on Aedes albopictus and the effects of photoperiod on their life cycle. Later I started work on tire dwelling mosquitoes in Mississippi, determining the effects of water parameters (depth/surface area) on oviposition for vector mosquito species. Currently I hope to understand the effects human landscapes have on mosquito communities. I suspect that urban environments remove some of the competition and predators these mosquitoes have. Below is a link to my Master's thesis and other published works: Effects of Water Parameters on Container Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Oviposition and Performance. Mosquito Larvae in Tires From Mississippi, United States: The Efficacy of Abiotic and Biotic Parameters in Predicting Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Mosquito Populations and Communities.
