Table 1 The generalized linear mixed model of the infection and abundance of Trombiculid mites in Apodemus semotus

Effect	Num DF	Den DF	Mite infection		Mite abundance
Effect	Num DF	Den DF	F	P	F	P
Sex	1	73	1.23	0.27	0.38	0.54
Season	2	73	4.24	0.02	2.46	0.09
Sex × season	2	73	1.19	0.31	0.13	0.88

The mite infection is whether or not an individual was infected with mites; the mite abundance is categorized into four levels (zero mite, 1 to 9 mites, 10 to 19 mites, and 20 mites or more). The seasons are spring (April and June 2011, June 2012), summer (August 2011, July, August, and September 2012), and winter (December 2010 and February 2011). Significant results are in italics.
