Table 1. Parasite lineages recovered in the Tiputini Biodiversity station, their GenBank ID, sample size, host breadth (number of host species used), specialization category (ND = not determined due to small sample size, Generalist = not significantly restricted distribution on hosts, Specialist = significantly restricted distribution on hosts), mean phylogenetic distance (MPD) and corresponding z-score (DSI), mean phylogenetic distance weighted by frequency (wMPD) and corresponding z-score (wDSI), and non-phylogenetic frequency distribution on hosts (d) and corresponding z-score. Table 2. Host species included in analyses, their sample size, type of host (harboring at least one specialist or only generalists), abundance, mean mass, apparent survival rate, and GenBank ID for the RAG-1 gene. Abundance estimates are from (Blake 2007), survival rates are from (Blake & Loiselle 2013), and masses are unpublished data from JGB

Bird RAG-1 alignment

Bird RAG-1 alignment file. Outgroup species begin with "out" and are followed by their GenBank ID

Parasite cytb alignment

Parasite cytb alignment file. Outgroup species begin with "O" and are followed by their GenBank ID

GenBank ID numbers

GenBank IDs of associate bird species and parasite lineages used in the phylogenetic specificity indices

Interaction Matrices and species-level specialization values

Interaction matrices of birds and malaria parasites in the two study sites. Also provided are sample sizes (N), the number of associates (degree), species-level specialization (d’), and phylogenetic species-level specialization (wMPD). We placed “TI” in front of each lineage number from Tiputini to distinguish these from “OZ” lineages and an “H” or a “P” in front of each lineage name to distinguish between Haemoproteus and Plasmodium. An “L” is placed after lineage names consisting of more than one haplotype
