\({\alpha }\) | Attractiveness of swarms | reward−1 \(\text{m}^{-1}\) |
\({\mu }\) | Male mosquito mortality rate | day\(^{-1}\) |
\(\lambda\) | The expected number of male mosquitoes | Number of mosquitoes per areal unit |
\({D}\) | Isotropic diffusion coefficient | \(\text{m}^2\)Â day\(^-1\) |
\(\sigma\) | Decay of attraction to swarm sites | m |
