*1: lower bound; *2: upper bound.a: compared to Pitangus sulphuratus (reference host); b: compared to Mihura (reference site).Terms in bold indicate the variables of interest. Significant coefficients are underlined.Host sp: predominant host species; Age: nestling age in days; Ph. ruber and Pi. sulphuratus dens: Phacellodomus ruber and Pitangus sulphuratus nestling density, respectively; Max.temp: weekly mean maximum temperature; Rain: weekly sum of precipitation; t0 – t−5 refer to time lags (0 = current week; 5 = 5 weeks previously); site: studies sites.
