Appendix 1—table 6. Trait thermal response functions, data sources, and posterior estimates: lifespan.

Responses fit with a linear function (L): L(T) = -mT + z. Median function coefficients and Tmax (with 95% credible intervals).

Additional data sources for other species used for fitting priors only (priors were fit using all data except that of the focal species). Lifespan (lf): Cx. pipiens molestus (Kiarie-Makara et al., 2015; Oda et al., 1999), Cx. pipiens pallens (Kiarie-Makara et al., 2015), and Cx. restuans (Ciota et al., 2014). See Appendix 1 section: Priors for trait thermal responses.
