Table 6 Statistical differences between the number of trapped species among the four trapping devices and aggregated biotopes

Response variable	Biotope	Traps	Estimate	SE	DF	t	p
Species	Urban	BG vs. CDC	1.106	0.249	168.0	4.44	<0.001
	Urban	BG vs. EVS	0.660	0.249	168.0	2.65	0.009
	Urban	BG vs. MM	0.981	0.258	168.5	3.80	<0.001

Mean +/-SE differences in least squares means associated with the mixed linear models for the number of trapped species per trapping period among the four trapping devices and the three aggregated biotopes (only significant differences shown). BG: Biogents Sentinel trap, EVS: Heavy Duty Encephalitis Vector Survey trap, CDC: Centres for Disease Control miniature light trap, MM: Mosquito Magnet Patriot Mosquito trap, Estimate: differences in least squares means, SE: standard error, DF: degrees of freedom, t: t-value, p: p value.
