The zero scalar residual of the Ørsted vector data for the earlier period indicates that the discrepancy only emerges after the failure of the Ørsted vector magnetometer.
Most of these studies were limited to data for the early period of PDMPs and few took into consideration the substantial statutory variations in state PDMPs.
This study targeted collection of field and remotely-sensed data for the early dry season, which is considered a prime period for linking these observations in the miombo ecoregion.
We were unable to get any population data for the early time-period for the Kenya locations.
While the size of our data for the early samples is relatively small, our search in the HIV Sequence Database [44] did not locate any full-length env genes collected in the 1980s from the Japanese population.
Pollution data for the early period were available only for PM2.5 and O3.
Regressions were undertaken using data for the earlier period but, not surprisingly given the quality of the data, there were no statistically significant associations.
In any case, extrapolated data for the earlier cohorts may differ from the actual values and therefore results based on these data should be interpreted with caution.
We acknowledge, however, that these reconstructions are merely broad estimates of potential refugial conditions for L. rufescens and lack constraining data for the earlier half of the epoch.
