Interesting?


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.
