Table 2. Table showing the effect of temperature (23°C or 27°C), parasitism (present or absent), competition between host species (intraspecific or interspecific), host species (n = 3), parasitoid species (n = 2), interactions between terms, and block (n = 4) on host abundances, host frequencies, host body mass, and parasitism rate.

Degrees of freedom (Df) for each F-ratio are given for each factor and for the error. F values are presented with the significance of the effect:
(***) P < 0.001,
(**) P < 0.01,
(*) P < 0.05, (ns) P > 0.05.
