Interaction between season and location.

LOS: largely open stable; Pred: predicted values; NS: not significant.

Predicted values (Pred) are in bold and underlined if analyze of variance between models with and without that effect showed significant differences with for α = 0.05. P-values were given for effect modalities compared to a reference value, i.e. “suction trap” for trap, “indoor” for location and “autumn” for season (***p<0.001; **p<0.01; *p<0.05;o p<0.1, no indication p>0.1).
