Residual values in microparasite richness, corrected for rodent sample size and pathogens’ screening effort, positively sorted according (A) to rodent species and (B) to habitats. High positive values of residuals in microparasite richness indicate higher species diversity of microparasites than expected by the regression modelling and can help at identifying ‘good’ rodent carriers of pathogens or risky habitats, at least in term of high diversity of pathogens than can be encountered herein.
