Table 2.

Output of the Cox regression model for the survival rates of An. messeae and Cx. p. pipiens in dependence of the microclimatic temperature and relative humidity as well as fructose availability and wing length

Explanatory variables Coefficient Standard error p Value Exp (coefficient) 95% Confidence interval for exp (coefficient)
An. messeae
Sugar availability (without sugar) 3.19 0.39 <0.001 24.23 11.22–52.31
Mean temperature per site 0.42 0.08 <0.001 1.53 1.30–1.79
Mean humidity per site −0.02 0.02 0.2 0.98 0.94–1.01
Wing length per specimen −0.52 0.44 0.24 0.59 0.25–1.41
Cx. p. pipiens (referring to sites together with An. messeae)
Sugar availability (without sugar) 1.12 0.2 <0.001 3.07 2.09–4.51
Mean temperature per site 0.22 0.06 <0.001 1.25 1.11–1.40
Mean humidity per site −0.01 0.02 0.57 0.99 0.96–1.02
Wing length per specimen −0.86 0.29 0.003 0.42 0.24–0.74
Cx. p. pipiens (referring to all sites equipped with cages of Cx. p. pipiens)
Sugar availability (without sugar) 1.26 0.14 <0.001 3.53 2.71–4.61
Mean temperature per site 0.26 0.03 <0.001 1.29 1.22–1.38
Mean humidity per site −0.01 0.01 0.08 0.99 0.97–1.00
Wing length per specimen −0.51 0.20 0.01 0.60 0.40–0.89

For Cx. p pipiens, two Cox regression models were conducted, one refers to all sites and one solely includes the sites, which were also equipped with An. messeae allowing a direct comparison of the results between both species. Significant p-values (p < 0.05) in bold.
