Effect of Kidney Fat Index (KFI) on foetal development (in days).

<p>Dots represent observed values (rhombus: 2–3 year-old females, circles: 4–6 year-old females; triangles: >7 year-old females) while lines represent the values predicted by the selected model (light grey line: area 1; black line: area 2).</p

Variation of <i>C. sciurorum</i> abundance by season (A) and host density (B).

<p>Mean abundance of <i>C. sciurorum</i> (sample size above standard error bars) varied during different seasons (p<0.0001) and at different host densities (p<0.0001). Squirrels trapped in spring were more infested than in autumn and winter (both sequential Bonferroni adjusted p<0.0001) and animals living in high-density sites were more infested then those living in medium- and low-density populations (both adjusted p<0.008).</p
