  1. Model coefficients are presented as incidence rate ratios for the count model (which models hourly bites conditional on being bitten), and as odds ratios for the zero model (which models the probability of being bitten). A full table including the species-specific temporally resolved model coefficients is presented in the supplementary materials. Coefficients in this are representative for January at 6 p.m. local time and relative to An. albimanus bite rates. Values in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. Significance levels are * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
