ad Temporal response of SCFT host-seeking larval densities under different WTD habitat use preferences during the vacation and post-vacation years (pre-vacation year not shown). Weekly mean numbers of host-seeking larvae per ha are shown at the landscape scale (a) and by habitat type: wood/shrub (b), mixed-brush (c), and grass (d). Results are from simulations in which WTD habitat use preferences for wood/shrub (good SCFT) habitats, mixed-brush (fair SCFT) habitats, and grass (poor SCFT) habitats were 0, 0.5, 0.5 (gray solid line), 0.2, 0.4, 0.4 (dashed line), and 1, 0, 0 (black solid line), respectively. Dashed vertical lines representing weeks 10, 21, and 46 of the post-vacation year are included for reference
