PCA plot of encounter probabilities. A black dot is a position of a forest site in 2nd and 3rd PCA coordinates. A box contains two letters abbreviating a forest site name. A green box indicates a high Anaplasma phagocytophilum DIN. A red box dicates a low Anaplasma phagocytophilum DIN. A green dot is a position of a woodland species. The species name is placed in a distance away from the green dot to avoid excessive overlaps
