Initial models for experiments 1 and 2 included D. magna or D. dentifera density (respectively), grazing period, and the interaction term.
Initial model for experiment 3 included food level, D. dentifera density, and the interaction term.
The results for amount of Bd detected in tadpole samples in experiment 3 were driven by a single sample. When we removed this sample, there were no significant predictors for this response.
