Figure 6

Variations in the sizes of DON, DIN and NIP under different host sizes. The numbers on the left panel indicate that the sizes of associated alternative hosts are added into the host community. The scenarios where the eastern chipmunk is added are shown on the upper panel. The middle panel shows the scenarios where the Virginia opossum is considered as the alternative host; the bottom panel shows the situations where the western fence lizard is added. All the associated parameter values are the same as those in Figure 5 except the sizes of alternative hosts.
