Vector bionomics and vectorial capacity as emergent properties of mosquito behaviors and ecology
Fig 5
Measures of mosquito dispersion.
Smoothed distribution (red line) and density (blue area) functions are displayed for summary statistics calculated for one particular landscape (50% peri-domestic habitats). A: The spatially averaged movement kernel is simply the probability of movement by distance, averaged over all haunts on the landscape. B: Cumulative movement, gives the distribution of total distance traveled by mosquitoes over their entire lifetime, and has a long right tail. C: Lifetime displacement is the absolute displacement of a mosquito, that is, the distance between the natal aquatic habitat they emerged from and the site at which their died. D: Dispersion of VC shows the distribution of secondary bites by distance, and follows closely absolute displacement of mosquitoes. All plots are calibrated to the same x-axis for comparison.
