Table 2 Results of GLMs investigavting variance in bat fly abundances across hosts in relation to host condition and sex. Abundance of all, and male and female bat flies were analysed. Non-significant second order interactions have been removed from all three models due to non-significance. All three models are based on 143 hosts and a total of 786 bat flies, 364 males and 422 females
From: Density-dependent sex ratio and sex-specific preference for host traits in parasitic bat flies
