Characterizing larval breeding sites: combining multiple
environmental conditions
The confusion matrices from random forest analysis suggested high
accuracy in distinguishing larval breeding sites between forest and
village (peridomestic and domestic) in both La Lopé (Table 2) and Rabai
(Table 3). Rabai peridomestic and domestic samples were less accurately
classified, consistent with the finding that they shared similar
physical characteristics and bacterial communities. Within each habitat,
the classification algorithm distinguished the Ae. aegyptipresent versus absent sites poorly.
