Table 1. Maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) and 95% profile-likelihood confidence interval of the parameters of the model with no control.

Parameter1 MLE 95% CI
Adult survival in the domestic habitat Sd (probability.time−1) 0.21 [0.17, 0.25]
Adult survival in the peri-domestic habitat Sp (probability.time−1) 0.93 [0.91, 0.95]
Adults leaving peri-domestic colonies Kp (number.time−1) 212 [180, 246]
Adults leaving sylvatic colonies Ks (number.time−1) 203 [157, 259]
Rate of flight/walk initiation d (probability.time−1) 0.27 [0.19, 0.36]
Dispersal distance mode D (m per displacement) 53.2 [50.9, 55.5]
Standard deviation of the dispersal distance σ (m per displacement) 1.05 [1.0, 3.8]
House attractiveness H (no dimension) 6.6 [5.2, 8.8]

Estimates of Sd, Sp, Kp, and Ks are given for a 15 days period (to allow direct comparisons with previous estimates published in [24]), while d is given for a 1-day period (the time step of the model) as it is not linearly scaling with time.
