Table 1.

Daily survival and recapture probability (theta) for Cx. pipiens mosquitoes calculated using nonlinear least squares on data from both years combined.

Parameter Estimate SE t P
Recapture probability, θ 0.013 0.002 6.48 8.8×10−08
Survival, π 0.905 0.037 24.56 1.00×10−16
Rain on survival, c2a −0.042 0.015 −2.90 0.0068

Note: There was no evidence for differences in survival or recapture probability between the two years, 2008 and 2009; see text for further details.

Parameter c2 indicates the effect of rainfall, R, in mm, on mosquito survival given by the expression survival = survival*ec2*R. See Methods for further explanation.
