West African experimental hut in M’be, Côte d’Ivoire, and modifications with addition of eave tubes. a Is the schematic from the experimental hut (modified from Djènontin et al. [14]). b Represents the front of the hut, c the left side of the hut. The huts were modified to include multiple tubes (12) for use in other experiments but for the current study, half the tubes were blocked so that each experimental hut had 6 functioning eave tubes (2 on each side and 2 at the front)
