<p>Model parameters, dimensions, and baseline values.</p>

Parameter values were retrieved from [16]. The adjusted parameters in our reduced 2-PDE model derive from original 9-ODE model parameters through hierarchical reduction detailed in [15]. For example, adjusted reproduction rates and incorporate net effects of aquatic stage dynamics including egg development rates (ψ), larval survival, and emergence rates through relationships such as , where represents aquatic stage death rate. Similarly, adjusted death rates account for overall mortality across all life stages compressed into adult representation. A comprehensive overview of the parameters and their values is available in [11,15].
