FIG. 1 in Postnatal variation in ectoparasite (Spinturnix emarginata) load in neonates of Geoffroy's bat (Myotis emarginatus): how fast do young bats become infested with ectoparasites?

FIG. 1. Average and SE of ectoparasite load in nine sampling occasions on neonates (■) and lactating female M. emarginatus (●) during the postnatal period in the Kerend cave in western Iran. The number of mites and bats is shown in Table 1. The drawn lines show some tendencies although they are not statistically significant. Sampling occasions range from day 1 (June 3) till day 43 (July 15)
