Table 1.

Family-level taxa frequency distributions (percent of sequences per treatment) from 16S rDNA sequence analysis and comparison to Ribosomal Database Project library of bacteria in tree hole larval mosquito habitats.

Percentages of groups above family level reflect numbers of unclassified sequences at that level.
