Wyeomyia smithii (Pitcher plant Mosquito, HCP4-BCI-WySm-NY-G18) Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Wyeomyia smithii

Wyeomyia smithii, the pitcher plant mosquito, is an inquiline mosquito that completes its pre-adult life cycle in the phytotelma of—that is, the water contained by—the purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea. In this microcommunity of bacteria, rotifers, protozoa, and midges, W. smithii is the top-level predator; its presence determines the bacterial species diversity within the pitcher.
