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

Behavioral state distribution.
Chord diagrams showing the empirical state transition matrices for three of the 26 experiments: A: 0%, B: 50%, and C: 100% peri-domestic habitats. These were calculated for each experiment by summing transitions for each mosquito between two states and then averaging to produce a Markov transition matrix. The width of the directed edges between each behavioral state is proportional to the probability of that transition, and the area on the perimeter of the circle labeled for each state is proportional to the mean time spent in that state. The three chord diagrams are accompanied below (D-F) by quasi-stationary probability distributions which give the asymptotic distribution of how a mosquito spends time across behavioral states conditional on survival.
