Arthropod and vertebrate attack rates by trial (right). (B) Attack rates (mean ± SE) across the six seasonal trials for vertebrates (top panel) and arthropods (bottom panel). Vertebrate attack rates did not show a clear seasonal trend but there was a significantly higher peak in late September (0.2 vs. 0.1 (bites prey model−1 week−1)) than in late July and early September. In contrast, arthropod attack rates peaked during late August.
