Fig. 2: Representation of the direct relationships between inbreeding, strongyle parasitism, and survival in the juvenile stronygle data.
From: Parasite-mediated inbreeding depression in wild red deer
Panels denote inbreeding and birth weight (a), inbreeding and strongyle parasitism (b), inbreeding and overwinter survival (c), parasitism and overwinter survival (d), and the indirect, strongyle-mediated relationship between inbreeding and overwinter survival (e). The x-axes denote standardized values for individual FROH (a, b, c, e) or individual lEPG (d), with birth weight (a), lEPG (b), or overwinter survival (c–e) on the y-axes. The untransformed FROH values range from 0.02–0.28 for juveniles. Results are taken from the individual models analyzing the juvenile dataset. The dark black line represents the mean of the posterior distribution for the standardized model estimates, the light grey lines are 100 random draws from the posterior to represent uncertainty. Points denote individual samples, with transparency to allow for visualization of overplotting. The inset text in each panel represents the standardized beta coefficients and associated 95% credible intervals from each regression, which can be interpreted as effect sizes.
