Each pool contained a maximum of 4 mosquitoes; n is the total number of mosquitoes in the pools; δ is the ratio of the isotopes referenced against international reference (nitrogen = air; carbon = Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite (VPDB)) defined by δX = [(R_sample-R_standard)/R_standard] x 1,000 where X is either ¹⁵N or ¹³C; R_sample is the isotopic ratio (¹⁵N/¹⁴N, or ¹³C/¹²C) in the sample, R_standard is the ratio in the reference; ¹⁵N and ¹³C are stable isotopes of Nitrogen and Carbon respectively.
