Temperature and humidity dependent responses of maturation and death times or rates fit to data from Koch and Tuck [20]. (a) Larvae maturation times as a function of temperature. (b) Larvae death rate as a function of temperature. (c) Nymph maturation times as a function of temperature. (d) Nymph death rate as a function of temperature. (e) Unfed (questing) nymph death rate as a function of both temperature and humidity. Each curve represents a humidity level from bottom (90) to top (35%). (f) Unfed (questing) adult death rate as a function of both temperature and humidity. Each curve represents a humidity level from bottom (90%) to top (35%). (g) Fourier approximation to temperature data for the study site. (h) Fourier approximation to humidity data for the study site.
