Chao and Pararasitm Rate?
Can Parasitoid Diversity drive successful Parasitism Rate?
Running a GLM. The dependent variable is rather a wasp or a leafminer emerged from the leafminer pupae collected at different farm sites. So if a wasp emerged: successful! If a leafminer emerged: failure! Using a GLM with binomial distribution (binary outcomes) and putting in some important local and landscape variables...
Whamo.
A strong correlation between successful parasitism event and parasitoid diversity (Chao Estimator.)
Interestingly.
Odds Ratio |
Basically, a high- shade farm has 0.277 times the odds of a low-shade farm to have a successful parasitism event.
Still working on this (needs a lot of work) and making sure the model is okay, but still some pretty interesting results.
