Larval_adult_size

The file titled "Larval_adult_size" contains data on the larval and adult size of tapeworms that grow in their piscivorous bird final host (G species). Lengths, widths, and areas (length x width) are given for each species. Areas were also converted to mass using relationships described in Online Appendix B. Finally, the source from which larval size was taken is listed (author, journal, volume, page numbers). Adult size was taken from Ryzhikov et al. (1985)

Host_masses_mammals

Two files contain information about the mass of cestode definitive hosts, "Host_masses_birds" and "Host_masses_mammals". For each cestode species, known hosts are listed with their mass. The mass of birds was taken from Dunning (1992). The mass of mammals from Smith et al. (2003) The average host size for each cestode is calculated. The host lists for cestodes in piscivorous birds were given by Ryzhikov et al. (1985). The host lists for cestodes in mammals were taken from the references from which size data were collected (see file "Host_size_regression.csv")

mass_conv_indiv_measurements

The file titled "mass_conv_indiv_measurements" contains data on the size of tapeworm individuals from 8 species. Four species grow in the final host (G) whereas the remaining four do not (NG). Some of these worms were from the Liverpool museum and their reference number is given. Worms were either measured live or preserved in formalin or ethanol. The worms were collected from either the intermediate host as plerocercoids or from definitive hosts as adults. Length, width, and mass are listed for all worms. Depth was also recorded for some worms. Area was calculated by multiplying length and width
