From: A comparative assessment of adult mosquito trapping methods to estimate spatial patterns of abundance and community composition in southern Africa

Fig. 4

There were no species-specific differences between the net and CDC trap (a), while species-specific differences between the net and BG trap (b) and the CDC trap and BG trap (c) were driven by overall abundance in the net or CDC trap. Dots represent the difference in the number of mosquitoes collected between pairs of traps based on the total number of mosquitoes sampled across nights at each site. a Lines represent the median and interquartile range of the data. Data displayed do not include sites where no individuals of a given species were collected in either trap, but results remain consistent regardless of whether these sites are or are not included. No hypothesis test for the individual species was significant (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, P = 0.181, 0.174, 0.345, 0.143, 1, 0.134, 0.476, 0.346, 1, 0.498, 0.360, 0.152, 0.796, 0.931, 1, 0.719, 0.372, 0.423, 0.265, 0.725, 1, 0.850, 1). See Additional file 1: Figure S3 for species-specific comparisons with the BG trap and Additional file 1: Table S5 for a summary table.
