Variables used to simulate the population dynamics which were common to the two Ae. albopictus populations as not related to the Wolbachia infection type. Data are specifically referred to S_ANG (= Y infection type) and ARwP (= X infection type) Ae. albopictus

Variables	Description	Calculation	Values
			Based on literature	Measured in laboratory	Set in experiments and model simulationsc
m	Female fecundity (Mean number of daughters produced by a female)	To be set based on the mean viable eggs produced per blood meal or long life		19.88 ± 1.12	20 ± 2
S 0	Immature survival in absence of intraspecific competition (%)	To be set based on laboratory data	~̴20a	84.91 ± 1.12	depending on the experiments
γ	Competition type (=1 if contest, >1 if scramble)	Estimated based on literature	>1b		1.5
α	Constant relative to the carrying capacity of the population	Estimated based on the experimental system	Depending on the context	~̴̴ 0.0002	0.0002
