Table 1. Parameter names, definitions, and sources.
Symbol | Definition | Source |
---|---|---|
n E | Number of eggs laid per gonotropic cycle | Otero et al. [23] |
a | Gonotrophic-cycle rate | Magori et al. [10] |
d E | Development rate of eggs | Magori et al. [10] |
d L | Development rate of larvae | Magori et al. [10] |
d P | Development rate of pupae | Magori et al. [10] |
μ E | Mortality rate of eggs | Magori et al. [10] |
μ L | Mortality rate of larvae | Magori et al. [10] |
μ P | Mortality rate of pupae | Magori et al. [10] |
μ N | Mortality rate of female adults | Magori et al. [10] |
μ C | Other sources of larval and pupal mortality rate | Estimated by fitting deterministic model to estimated larval abundance in Iquitos. Used to fuse the deterministic and statistical models. |
κ | Carrying capacity of larvae | Estimated so that density-dependence contributes 90% of deaths on average. |
