Vector bionomics and vectorial capacity as emergent properties of mosquito behaviors and ecology

Fig 10

Dispersion and movement parameters.

In MBITES, vectorial capacity (VC) and its dispersion are highly sensitive to the proportion of peri-domestic habitats. Interpretation of axes follows Fig 9, and each summary bionomic parameter is plotted as mean (solid line), median (dashed line), and the shaded area covers the 20-80% quantile range of the data. A: Number of secondary bites produced increases dramatically as a function of peri-domestic habitats. B: Spatial dispersion shows no strong trend however, due to the strong clustering of haunts in the landscape (it largely follows the trend of absolute lifetime displacement (C), as opposed to cumulative movement (D). At low percent peri-domestic breeding habitats, significant right skew in the distribution of VC pulls the mean above the 80% quantile.
