ALT Diagram illustrating a mosquito marking and tracking workflow. At the top left, a rhodamine-B self-marking unit and feeding setup are shown connected to laboratory equipment. Arrows lead to a map of Miami-Dade County with two study sites labeled “Redlands agricultural area” and “Opa-locka residential area,” each displaying dot patterns representing mosquito locations. From there, arrows point to analysis categories labeled “Dispersal Metrics” (distance traveled, mean and minimum distance, flight range metrics) and “Adult trapping” (number of specimens captured, environmental factors, and marked specimens per trap). At the bottom right, four photos show field and lab steps: self-marking setup, trap servicing with buckets, sample processing on a lab bench, and fluorescent marker detection under green light.
