From: The range of attraction for light traps catching Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae)

Figure 5

Model fits to experimental setups. Predicted fractional catch per trap given model I (nearest trap), II (indirect light), and III (perceived light) (top, middle, bottom) with the field data as boxplots, for setup A and B (left, right). The prediction is the fractional part of the area covered within the range of attraction in Figure 2. The red line with circles is always the best fit of the model to the data. The predicted green and blue lines is fractional catch with a range of attraction of 5 or 50 meters. The ranges of attraction rk giving the best fit for the k’th model were: rIA/B<0.06/1.5 m, rIIA/B=21/<2 m, and rIII=15.25 m with σ=10.
