Fig. 4From: The use of sequential mark-release-recapture experiments to estimate population size, survival and dispersal of male mosquitoes of the Anopheles gambiae complex in Bana, a west African humid savannah villageEstimated life-expectancy of the marked mosquitoes during the four study periods. For each period, the bands plot the posterior distributions of life expectancy calculated as (1–s)-1 where s is the posterior distribution of daily survival, using either swarm, PSC, or both data from that period. The rightmost band plots the posterior distributions when all these data are combined and it is assumed that there is a fixed rate of mortality across all study periods (“constant survival” model of Fig. 2). Oct. ‘13, May ‘14, Sep. ‘14 and Apr. ‘15 indicate the four study periods: October 2013, May 2014, September 2014 and April 2015, respectivelyBack to article page
