Supplementary Figure S2: Molecular insights into Neotropical bird – tick ecological associations and the role of birds in tick-borne disease ecology

Species accumulation curve (SAC) for immature ticks recovered from Panamanian wild birds based BIN numerical taxonomy. Black line = S, mean observed species richness; solid gray line = Ŝ, mean Chao1 S estimate; dotted gray lines = 95% upper and lower confidence limits (CI) for Ŝ. As Chao1 is downward biased, the 95% lower CI is probably not useful. Fairchild et al (22) estimated that 37 species of hard ticks occur in Panama.

针对从巴拿马野生鸟类体内采集的未成熟蜱虫，基于BIN数值分类学构建的物种累积曲线（Species Accumulation Curve, SAC）。其中，黑线代表S，即观测物种丰富度的均值；灰色实线代表Ŝ，即Chao1物种丰富度估计值的均值；灰色虚线则代表Ŝ的95%置信区间上下限（Confidence Interval, CI）。由于Chao1估计值存在下偏偏差，其95%置信下限可能不具备参考价值。费尔柴尔德（Fairchild）等人（22）的研究估计，巴拿马境内共有37种硬蜱（hard ticks）。
