  1. Note: Brandt’s voles were captured from six populations in two regions (N = 252). Parasite species richness was defined as the number of helminth morphotypes per individual, and parasite infection intensity was estimated using fecal egg counts (FEC, log10EPG; EPG, nematode eggs per gram feces). Mean ± standard deviation are shown.
