Associations between avian species richness and abundance, mosquito abundance and measures of mosquito infection rate. (Table shows regression results for measures of avian diversity and abundance included in multiple regression models with mosquito (Cx. species or Cx. nigripalpus) abundance as a covariate. r is the partial regression coefficient, significant p-values are in bold and * denotes significance levels that became non-significant after correcting for multiple comparisons with the sequential Bonferroni adjustment (k=2).)
