Knowing when to draw the line: designing more informative ecological experiments
Linear regression and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are two of the most widely used
statistical techniques in ecology. Regression quantitatively describes the relationship …

glmmTMB balances speed and flexibility among packages for zero-inflated generalized linear mixed modeling
Count data can be analyzed using generalized linear mixed models when observations are
correlated in ways that require random effects. However, count data are often zero-inflated …

Parasite‐mediated selection against Inbred Soay sheep in a free‐living island populaton
Parasites are thought to provide a selective force capable of promoting genetic variation in
natural populations. One rarely considered pathway for this action is via parasite‐mediated …

[PDF][PDF] Heterogeneities in macroparasite infections: patterns and processes
2.1 Background Exhaustive empirical surveys have shown that, almost without exception,
macroparasites (parasitic helminths and arthropods) are aggregated across their host …

Statistical analysis of sex ratios: an introduction
In this chapter we discuss how to make best use of sex ratio data. We identify three basic
questions that such data can be used to answer: does the sex ratio differ from some …

Major histocompatibility complex variation associated with juvenile survival and parasite resistance in a large unmanaged ungulate population (Ovis aries L.)
Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites has been proposed as a mechanism
maintaining genetic diversity in both host and parasite populations. In particular, the high …
