Appendix 1—table 7. Priors for trait thermal response functions: mosquito traits with unimodal responses.
Gamma distribution parameters (α [shape] and β [rate]) for priors for fitting thermal response parameters (Tmin, Tmax, and q). Scaled variances are noted in parentheses, either by the system name (applied to all parameters) or by individual parameters. See Appendix 1 section: Priors for trait thermal responses.
