Table 1. Parasite lineages recovered in the Tiputini Biodiversity station, their GenBank ID, sample size, host breadth (number of host species used), specialization category (ND = not determined due to small sample size, Generalist = not significantly restricted distribution on hosts, Specialist = significantly restricted distribution on hosts), mean phylogenetic distance (MPD) and corresponding z-score (DSI), mean phylogenetic distance weighted by frequency (wMPD) and corresponding z-score (wDSI), and non-phylogenetic frequency distribution on hosts (d) and corresponding z-score. Table 2. Host species included in analyses, their sample size, type of host (harboring at least one specialist or only generalists), abundance, mean mass, apparent survival rate, and GenBank ID for the RAG-1 gene. Abundance estimates are from (Blake 2007), survival rates are from (Blake & Loiselle 2013), and masses are unpublished data from JGB.
