It is now recognized that all container habitats of Aedes agegypti/albopictus are not equally important for the proliferation of these species because pupal production varies from habitat to habitat.
I suggest the Barrera article:

Yes Dr. Duarte. I have the publication with me. I am looking for a diversity index, something like Shannon index
Thank you Dr. Pessanha and Dr. Duarte for your suggestions. In fact, I am working on such an index.
I do not know any. But, I found a very interesting question.
Breeding habitat of all mosquito species are very different . One breeding index can not be applicable.
There was many breeding estimates of Aedes pupae, pupal index, stegomaya indices, Bretue index and others. the atrticle attached by Elves was very good in this.
Dear Sara,
I don't see the article. Please send it to me directly. Regards
This paper by Dr. Chadee may give you a starting point. He looked at breeding site productivity in Jamaica. I'd be interested to see you findings.

May this book can help. "Mosquito Ecology - Filed sampling Methods". This book available online in google books.
Thank you Quirine ten Bosch. Good paper. I will share my findings later. Probably you can help me in mathematical modeling
Looking forward to seeing your findings. Feel free to message me if you'd like to discuss modeling applications. I think this is a really important alley.
