Table 1 Data sources for the 11 categories of variables. Time-dependent variables (i.e. temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed, global radiation and vegetation index) were obtained for the January 2016 to June 2018 period

From: Spatio-temporal modelling of Culicoides Latreille (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) populations on Reunion Island (Indian Ocean)
