Partial effects of the generalized additive models with total infected tick abundance as a response variable, and smooth terms for the abundance of small mammals (a), the relative abundance of white-footed mice (b), the geographic location (c), and the year of collection (d). Shaded areas represent the 95% confidence intervals of the model fit and dots are the residual values. R-sq (adj.) = 0.716, Deviance explained = 83.6%.
