Table 1.

Mosquito traits used across the three trait-dependent models explored. For each trait, we include the parameter, trait description, unimodal function assumed (for thermal traits), and The value of the trait or values of parameters of the curve. We provide the references and the curves associated with the temperature-dependent traits in Appendix A.
