Description

AedesTraits is a fully open, machine-readable database that adheres to VecTraits standards, focusing on the temperature dependence of different types of traits (e.g., life--history, behavioural, morphological) in four Aedes species: Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. japonicus, and Ae. koreicus. This database consolidates experimental data from diverse published literature dating from 1930s to 2025. AedesTraits captures trait variation across species, populations, and environmental conditions.
