Résumé
Number of ticks measured in each treatment group of the experiment. Table S2. Description of statistical models used to analyse the influence of host type (“host”), time post-moult (“moult”), tick life stage (“stage”), bloodmeal life stage (“bloodmeal”) and method as explanatory fixed variable and tick as a random nested factor on detection threshold, detection rate and tick size. N gives the number of ticks included in each analysis. “Maximal model” gives the complete set of explanatory variables tested (and their interactions) included in the model. “Minimal model” gives the model containing only the significant variables and their interactions.
