Environmental variable	Type of variable	Redundancy analysis
Mean temperature	Numeric, from 16.9 to 27.5°C	Pseudo-F = 0.69, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.63)
Total precipitation	Numeric, from 0.9 to 155.3 mm	Pseudo-F = 0.13, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.99)
Bromeliad height	Numeric, from 0 to 260 cm	Pseudo-F = 0.61, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.68)
Type of bromeliad	Factor, 3 levels (ground, epiphytic, rocky)	Pseudo-F = 1.49, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.13)

Tank depth	Numeric, from 10 to 140 cm	Pseudo-F = 0.98, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.41)
Landscape categories	Factor, 3 levels (lowland, hillslope, hillside)	Pseudo-F = 1.89, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.04)^a
Bromeliad water volume	Numeric, from 7 to 750 ml	Pseudo-F = 2.99, d.f. = 106 (p = 0.03)^a
Bromeliad fullness (water divided by depth)	Numeric, from 0.2 to 17.5 ml/cm	Pseudo-F = 4.47, d.f. = 106 (p < 0.01)^a

Results of the multivariate Redundancy analysis (RDA) showing correlations between bromeliad mosquito assemblage structure and environmental variables.
a = Significant result under the null hypothesis: Pseudo-F = 0 (p < 0.05).
