Mechanistic models predicting transmission often use mosquito and pathogen thermal responses from constant temperature experiments. However, mosquitoes live in fluctuating environments. Rate summation (nonlinear averaging) is a common approach to infer performance in fluctuating environments, but its accuracy is rarely validated. We measured three mosquito traits that impact transmission (bite rate, survival, fecundity) in a malaria mosquito (\n                  <jats:italic>Anopheles stephensi<\/jats:italic>\n                  ) across temperature gradients with three diurnal temperature ranges (0, 9 and 12\u00b0C). We compared thermal suitability models with temperature-trait relationships observed under constant temperatures, fluctuating temperatures, and those predicted by rate summation. We mapped results across\n                  <jats:italic>An. stephenesi<\/jats:italic>\n                  \u2019s native Asian and invasive African ranges. We found: 1) daily temperature fluctuation significantly altered trait thermal responses; 2) rate summation partially captured decreases in performance near thermal optima, but also incorrectly predicted increases near thermal limits; and 3) while thermal suitability characterized across constant temperatures did not perfectly capture suitability in fluctuating environments, it was more accurate for estimating and mapping thermal limits than predictions from rate summation. Our study provides insight into methods for predicting mosquito-borne disease risk and emphasizes the need to improve understanding of organismal performance under fluctuating conditions.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2024.09.20.614098","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]],"date-time":"2024-09-23T11:55:11Z","timestamp":1727092511000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Mean daily temperatures can predict the thermal limits of malaria transmission better than rate summation"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8995-4446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta S.","family":"Shocket","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1824-2801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joey R.","family":"Bernhardt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4795-7711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kerri L.","family":"Miazgowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alyzeh","family":"Orakzai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3639-3718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Van M.","family":"Savage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Hall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4308-6321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadie J.","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5966-1514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Courtney C.","family":"Murdock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2024092615451366000_2024.09.20.614098v1.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
