Is it possible to share data on mosquito species diversity among countries with land boundaries? The expected result is a revision to the mosquito species checklist between corresponding countries. The idea is that mosquito distribution does not respect the boundaries of different countries. They only respect the suitability of the environment they live in. The diversity data acquisition is based on a study of ecosystems and land use between countries. The endemicity status of each species is also becoming an important consideration. What needs to be done if the species data acquisition is possible?
Yes, the regional analysis of vector dynamics will be ideal with datasets that are regional across national boundaries. GIS could be used to merge such datasets into regional scales.
In spite of few kilometers can dispersal adult mosquitoes, but mosquito fauna could be shared between countries through teritorial boundaries cross water resources as marshes between Iraq and Iran. Besides, as vehicles and travelars.
I think sharing the biodiversity data among land bordered countries would not be considered biopiracy. Biopiracy refers to traditional knowledge related to the illegal or improper use of biological materials. I will not use biological material or preserved specimens to compile the regional biodiversity, in this particular case is the island's biodiversity. Instead, scientific evidence from works of literature will be used.
