Unreliability scores$\left(V^2/\bar{x}\right)$for each of 68 host species in a Raritan river food web. Total biomass for each species was measured for 8 consecutive seasons to determine biomass fluctuations used to calculate unreliability scores. Rossiter 2012[22] found that parasitized hosts were among those hosts with the lowest unreliability scores. The parasitized host with the highest unreliability score (arrow) is a seasonal frog species.
