In all files, the symbols + and - represent the presence and the absence of species respectively.

Data on File 2 represents the number of parasite eggs laid on either of two oviposition sites (e.g. an empty clean site vs. a site with eggs and cues of host).

Data on Files 3-5 reperesents the number of surviving parasite offspring.

Data on Files 6-7 reperesents the number of surviving host offspring.
