Table 2.

Different mouse-specific traits are correlated with larval and nymphal tick burdens

(A) Larval burden
Source	DF Num	DF Den	F ratio	P
Sex	1	117·4	20·82	<0·001
Age	2	362·6	0·00	0·99
Body mass	1	261	0·14	0·71
Home range size	1	74·5	0·07	0·79

(B) Nymphal burden
Source	DF Num	DF Den	F ratio	P
Sex	1	93·4	2·54	0·11
Body mass	1	264·4	5·09	0·025

(The tables present the result of the mixed-model ANOVAs of traits on (A) larval burden and (B) nymphal burden, corrected for repeated measures on mice with the degrees of freedom approximated by the Welch-Satterthwaite equation.)
