Table 1 Temperature effects on mortality of the Asian bush mosquito. Mean mortality for each temperature treatment

From: Thermal experiments with the Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus japonicus) (Diptera: Culicidae) and implications for its distribution in Germany

Temperature (°C)	Mean mortality (%)	SD (%)

^aFor 5 °C, the mortality was calculated on an experimental day 113. One individual survived to this day and was considered alive in the analysis. For all other temperatures, mortality reflects cumulative larval and pupal mortality
Abbreviation: SD standard deviation
