Table 2.

Parameter values for temperature-dependent functional forms. The temperature in degrees Celsius is denoted by T, the rate scaling factor is denoted by c (main Column 2), the minimum critical thermal temperature is denoted by T0 (main Column 3), and the maximum critical thermal temperature is denoted by Tm (main Column 4). The subscripts denote the corresponding traits, e.g. cθv, Tθv0 and Tθvm are for the number of eggs laid by a female mosquito per day, θv. See equation (2.4) for brief descriptions of the temperature-dependent parameters.
