Table 4 Climate variables and bivariate factors related to fly density and the percentage of males. Values of coefficient (r) and P-values obtained by Spearman’s correlation analysis
Fly density | % males | Tset | RHset | Tmax daily | Tmin daily | Tmean daily | Tmean monthly | Wind speed | Rainfall monthly | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fly density | r(23) = 1 | r(23) = -0.44 P = 0.03* | r(17) = -0.18 P = 0.4 | r(17) = 0.07 P = 0.7 | r(24) = 0.33 P = 0.11 | r(24) = 0.45 P = 0.02* | r(24) = 0.42 P = 0.04* | r(24) = 0.50 P = 0.11 | r(22) = 0.27 P = 0.22 | r(21) = -0.16 P = 0.47 |
% Males | r(23) = -0.44 P = 0.03* | r(23) = 1 | r(17) = 0.53 P = 0.02* | r(17) = 0.3 P = 0.2 | r(23) = 0.30 P = 0.15 | r(23) = 0.14 P = 0.49 | r(23) = 0.18 P = 0.38 | r(23) = 0.15 P = 0.49 | r(21) = 0.36 P = 0.11 | r(20) = 0.1 P = 0.64 |
