Two-group comparisons and overall trend of the effect of increasing larval environmental temperature on the odds of laying eggs by Anopheles gambiae s.s. females kept at all adult temperatures for the first two blood meals^a

			Larval temperature (°C)
	Adult temperature (°C)		27 ± 1 (with respect to 23 °C)	31 ± 1 (with respect to 23 °C)	31 ± 1 (with respect to 27 °C)
1st blood meal		Log odds of laying eggs	−0.783b	−1.658	−0.876
	23 ± 1	log-likelihood ratio test	−1.187	−2.455	−1.515
		p-value	0.235	0.014	0.130
	27 ± 1	Log odds of laying eggs	−2.565	−4.069	−1.504
		log-likelihood ratio test	−2.383	−3.828	−3.086
		p-value	0.017	<0.001	0.002
	31 ± 1	Log odds of laying eggs	0.767c	−0.028	−0.795
		log-likelihood ratio test	1.386	−0.048	−1.392
		p-value	0.166	0.962	0.164
2nd blood meal		Log odds of laying eggs	−1.952	−3.312	−1.36
	23 ± 1	log-likelihood ratio test	−2.398	−3.805	−2.276
		p-value	0.016	<0.001	0.023
	27 ± 1	Log odds of laying eggs	−1.161	−2.496	−1.335
		log-likelihood ratio test	−1.613	−3.486	−2.534
		p-value	0.107	<0.001	0.011
	31 ± 1	Log odds of laying eggs	1.121	0.359	−0.762
		log-likelihood ratio test	1.557	0.465	−1.218
		p-value	0.120	0.642	0.223

^aAll females laid eggs after the third blood meal. ^bA negative value of the log odds represents a decrease in the proportion of females laying eggs with respect to the reference temperature, whilst a positive value^c represents an increase in egg laying rate
