Temporal distribution in the trap-catch of host-seeking female Cx. pipiens s.l./torrentium at all study sites across all years for which data are available (2014–2021). Whiskers show the range from the first to last week in which Cx. pipiens s.l./torrentium mosquitoes were caught. Boxes show the cumulative yield of 5%, 50% and 95%, with 5% cumulative yield represented by the left side of the darker box; 50% cumulative yield, by the junction between dark and light boxes; and 95% cumulative yield, by the right side of the light box. Collection sites are indicted by colour-coded boxes, with blue boxes representing data from ZSL and surrounding parks; green boxes, data from CZ; and the red box, data from FL. Grey shading represents the time when traps were not running.
