aRodent ID was included in the models as a random effect. For larvae, month group 1 = March to early May 1997, July and December of 1997, January to late May, and July and August of 1998; month group 2 = February, August and September of 1997, and June of 1998; month group 3 = January, late May, June, October and November of 1997, and September to December 1998. For nymphs, month group 1 = January–April, September, November, and December of both 1997 and 1998; month group 2 = early May to August and October of both 1997 and 1998.
