  abstract = {{A}rbovirus vector dynamics and spread are influenced by climatic, environmental and geographic factors. {M}ajor {C}hikungunya and {D}engue fever outbreaks occurring the last 10 years have coincided with the expansion of the mosquito vector {A}edes albopictus to nearly all the continents. {W}e characterized the ecological (larval development sites, population dynamics, insemination and daily survival rates) and genetic (diversity, gene flow, population structure) features of two {A}edes albopictus populations from distinct environments (rural and urban) on {R}eunion {I}sland, in the {S}outh-{W}est {I}ndian {O}cean. {M}icrosatellite analysis suggests population sub-structuring {A}e. albopictus populations. {T}wo genetic clusters were identified that were significantly linked to natural versus urban habitats with a mixed population in both areas. {A}e. albopictus individuals prefer urban areas for mating and immature development, where hosts and containers that serve as larval development sites are readily available and support high population densities, whereas natural environments appear to serve as reservoirs for the mosquito.},
