Figure 3: Parasite richness (number of different parasite targets detected in each sample) as a function of (a) floral resource abundance in B. pascuorum and (b) Distance from honeybee hives in B. terrestris . The black line and gray areas indicate the relationship and its confidence intervals (α = 95%) estimated through Generalized Linear mixed models.
Table 3: Output of Generalized Linear mixed models of Parasite richness and Probability of infection as a function of the candidate covariates supposed to shape parasite detection. Final models were obtained through backward stepwise selection using AIC criterion. Differences in the AIC values between full and final models are reported in ΔAIC. Statistical details refer to the final models and are regression coefficient (βi), chi-square values (χ2), degrees of freedom (df). Significant p-values are reported in bold.
