  1. The response variable for each model is the log10-transformed conversion rate. “Parasite schedule” refers to parasites either in-synch or out-of-synch with the host, and “donor photoschedule” corresponds to parasites taken from donor mice kept in either the standard or reversed light:dark schedule. The null model includes only “mouse” as a random effect
