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

Table 3

Results of a bivariate logistic regression, modelling the incidence of ant-parasitic associations within an ant genus (𝑁=54 ant genera), in relation to species richness and number of nonparasitic associations with lycaenid immatures (both log-transformed) per ant genus. Given are the regression coefficients 𝑏_𝑖, their standard errors and corresponding 𝑡 and 𝑝 values. Overall model score: 𝜒²_2df=6.577; 𝑃=0.0373.
