Appendix A (Table A1). Mean and 95% confidence interval of regression coefficients for explanatory variables in relation to tick and chigger loads (after correcting for plowing and seasonal effects) on Apodemus agrarius using 9,999 bootstrap replicates with replacement. No coefficient of explanatory variables was significantly different from 0.
