Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Yushan

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Yushan National Park. The park's dense forests and abundant streams provide perfect habitats for mosquitoes to thrive. Temperature and rainfall are key drivers; warmer temperatures accelerate mosquito breeding cycles, while standing water from frequent rains offers breeding sites. Additionally, altitude plays a role—lower elevations within the park tend to have higher mosquito activity compared to the cooler, windier high peaks like Jade Mountain (Yushan). Key factors include:

Warm temperatures
High humidity
Presence of stagnant water

Understanding these helps visitors prepare better for their trips.
