Fig. 3. Relationship between the number of non-mite arthropods (x-axis) and nest mites (y-axis) that were recovered when experimental nests were removed from the field after nestlings fledged and placed in a Berlese funnel. Nests with more arthropods had significantly fewer nest mites. This graph was made using raw data, but models reported in text had a Poisson distribution and included site as a random effect.
