The Host Genera of Ant-Parasitic Lycaenidae Butterflies: A Review

Table 2

Results of general linear model relating the number of parasitic lycaenid species associated with an ant genus to its species richness (log-transformed), ecological prevalence, geographical distribution, and importance in nonparasitic lycaenid-ant associations (log-transformed). Given are standardized regression coefficients β, and the 𝐹 and 𝑝 scores for each variable. SS: sum of squares; MS: mean of squares. Overall model fit: R = 0.5394, 𝑅²_korr=0.2332, 𝐹_4;49=5.0288; 𝑃=0.0018.
