Results of the generalized linear mixed models predicting parasite infection intensity with host activity level and exploratory behaviour in the control, novel food and parasite conditions as fixed factors (subject number and mass included as random factors). AIC_c = Akaike information criterion corrected for small sample size, d.f. = degrees of freedom. The overall best model based on the lowest AIC_c value is indicated with italics.
