Multiple regression results for analyses of the relationship between the two principal components (PC1 and PC2) describing host life history and reservoir competence for three tick-borne pathogens.

The correlation coefficients for each independent variable (b), corresponding t-value (*P≤0.05), and whole model R-square values are given. “Huang et al. variables” refers to the life history traits used by Huang et al. [22], whereas “All variables” refers to the larger data set.Multiple regression results for analyses of the relationship between the two principal components (PC1 and PC2) describing host life history and reservoir competence for three tick-borne pathogens.
