Summary of generalized linear models of the effect of a reedbuck's sex (SX), age (A) and locality (Loc) on individual reedbuck specialization (d’), individual host strength (IHS) and centrality (C) in individual-based reedbuck endo- (EN) and ectoparasites (EC) from 2 localities (see text for explanations)

EN/EC	Dependent variable	Explanatory variable	Coefficient ± s.e.	t	P
EN	d’	A (young)	−0.05 ± 0.02	−1.99	0.05
	IHS	Loc (Himeville)	0.08 ± 0.03	2.41	0.02
	C	Loc (Himeville)	−0.18 ± 0.05	−3.49	<0.01
EC	C	SX (males)	0.10 ± 0.05	1.91	0.06

Models for d’ and C were with quasibinomial distribution and logit link. Models for IHS were with Gaussian distribution and log link. Reference levels of independent variables were female for sex, adult for age and the Eastern Shores Nature Reserve for locality. Only significant and marginally significant coefficients are shown.
