  abstract = {{R}ecent outbreaks of the {W}est {N}ile virus have been reported in southern {S}pain, a region with important wetland habitats for migratory birds. {H}ere, we analyzed the role of species association and abiotic parameters on the abundance of seven mosquito species in the {D}onana {N}ational {P}ark, {S}pain. {W}e applied the {J}oint {S}pecies {D}istribution {M}odels ({JSDM}), using the {H}ierarchical {M}odeling of {S}pecies {C}ommunities approach to simultaneously model the effect of habitat type, normalized difference vegetation index, hydroperiod, distance to rivers, land surface temperature, and the abundance of seven mosquito species. {W}e created three models with varied parameters and evaluated the effects of abiotic parameters and species-to-species associations, which served as proxies for species interactions. {O}ur models estimated the species-specific responses of the mosquito community to abiotic parameters. {A} positive association was identified within the {C}ulex community with potential biotic interactions. {H}owever, {O}chlerotatus caspius, {O}chlerotatus detritus, and {A}nopheles atroparvus had no statistically significant association with each other and with the {C}ulex species after accounting for the effect of abiotic parameters. {W}e also found that the potential species associations estimated at particular sites and abiotic parameters influenced the model projection for the average abundance of mosquito species. {T}he {JSDM} will allow spatial projection of the abundance of each mosquito species, which is an important parameter for epidemiological models. {T}he {JSDM} inference of species association is important because predation, competition, and facilitation affect the distribution and abundance of different species.},
