Appendix 1—table 4. Trait thermal response functions, data sources, and posterior estimates: vector competence traits.
Asymmetrical responses fit with Brière function (B): B(T)=qT(T – Tmin)(Tmax – T)1/2; symmetrical responses fit with quadratic function (Q): Q(T) = -q(T – Tmin)(T – Tmax). Median function coefficients and optima (with 95% credible intervals).
