N is the number of experimental nights, n is total number of mosquitoes caught whereas SE is the standard error of the mean catch per night. A total of 200 female An. gambiae were released per night. Mean catches in the same column with different superscript letters differ significantly at P <0.05 (Generalized Linear Models).
