Host biology and environmental variables differentially predict flea abundances for two rodent hosts in a plague-relevant system.

After controlling for sex, GCs also had a marginally significant (p = 0.05) relationship with E. eumolpi abundance ( Table 5 ). 3.3 Environmental predictors of flea abundance Overall flea abundances (across all flea species) were predicted by ambient temperature and elevation in a host-species-dependent manner ( Table 6 ).
