Environmental data for modelling habitat suitability of the mosquito species Culex modestus

This dataset contains environmental variables used for habitat suitability modelling of the mosquito species Culex modestus. The data are provided in two comma-separated values (CSV) files: (1) a presence dataset containing environmental predictor values associated with observed occurrences of Culex modestus, and (2) a distribution dataset containing environmental predictor values representing background environmental conditions. The variables consist of satellite-derived environmental indices which capture ecological conditions relevant to mosquito habitat suitability. These data were compiled to support analyses of environmental drivers of species occurrence of Culex modestus. The dataset is suitable for use in species distribution modelling and ecological analysis.
