Effects of height, area and habitat characteristics on daily mosquito abundance of all species combined, and on Anopheles balabacensis abundance separately in primary forest PF, virgin jungle reserve VJR and logged forest LF. Coefficient estimates (β), standard errors, associated Wald’s z-score, and p values are given
