Mangroves are often found near or around salt ponds because of their ability to exist in an ecosystem with high salinity, low dissolved oxygen levels, brackish water, and extreme temperatures. Mangroves’ unique prop roots function as a barrier to the salt water, limiting water loss, and acting as a snorkel for oxygen and nutrients.

Asellus aquaticus can breed throughout the year, if the temperature is high enough: they do not breed under cold temperatures.

Adult mosquitos feed on the blood of animals and humans by using their proboscis, a long straw-like feature that pierces the skin and transports the blood from the host to the mosquito.
Surface and ground water stagnation; Trapped water stagnation. The water may be trapped in human artifacts (discarded cans, plant pots, tires, dug-outs, roofs, etc.), as well as in natural containers, such as hollow tree trunks, leaf sheaths, etc. To avoid ground and surface water stagnation, the drainage of surface and subsoil is advised.
