Location of the study site in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The four study houses, in separate neighbourhoods are indicated by the black solid circles; 1—Vila Mariana; 2—Village da Serra; 3—Vila Parque Ibituruna; 4—Chacaras Recanto da Cachoeira. [Map produced in ArcGIS 10.4.1, Base layers main map: OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Governador%20Valadares#map=13/-18.8593/-41.9381); Base layers inset map: ESRI World Countries Layer (https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ac80670eb213440ea5899bbf92a04998)].

Comparison of the β coefficients for the different levels of pheromones.
The 95% CR limits are shown in red. The green line is the ratio of 1 (identical coefficients, no change in capture rate).
