Temporal changes in intensity of bird parasite infections are dependent on latitude in the Western Palearctic
Table 3
Repeated measures ANOVAs with laying date, clutch size, brood size, body condition and host population density in two separate study periods as within subjects’ factors (Repeated Measures (RM)) and interactions between the repeated measure and latitude, temperature change, variation in parasitism (i.e., temporal change in intensity and prevalence of parasites) and identity of parasite group (parasite ID) as between subject factors. Beta-values of the association between differences in laying date, clutch size, brood size, body condition and host population density as independent continuous factors (latitude, temperature change and variation in parasitism (i.e., change in intensity and prevalence of parasites)) are also shown. Separate analyses for data sets including parasite intensity or prevalence in the first and the second year are shown. Associated P-values smaller than 0.05 are shown in bold.
