Consistency for the estimated number of specimens calculated by a subsample based on area, volume or weight. Grey points indicate the consistency for the estimated number of specimens for the bootstrapped subsampling of grid cells. The weight data are based on dry weight, fresh weight data are shown in Additional file 9: Figure S6. The red lines for the dry weight and green lines for the fresh weight indicate the bootstrapped mean (solid) and 95% confidence intervals (dashed) of the subsampling dataset. Red points (mean) and red stars (standard deviation) indicate the results of proportional sampling with 20, 40, 60 and 80% of the grid cells. Blue lines indicate mean (solid) and standard deviation (dashed) of the estimation with the image processing software ImageJ over all mosquito samples. Black squares indicate optical orientation lines for a 10 or 20% error
