Fig. 5

Take-off directions of sylvatic Rhodnius prolixus. Histograms with the total numbers of flying R. prolixus under field conditions with lights turned on or off. Mean vectors: with light bulbs turned on and at 60 m μ = 356.88°, r = 0.306 and at 110 m μ = 52.44°, r = 0.358; with light bulbs turned off and at 60 m μ = 101.41°, r = 0.135 and at 110 m μ = 96.72°, r = 0.125. Asterisks indicates directionality to the house (set at 0°) (Hodges-Ajne test, p < p(α)). NS = not significant
