HOST-PARASITE INTERACTIONS ON AN EXPERIMENTAL LANDSCAPE

Funding for fieldwork and cowbird traps was provided by the NSF-funded Konza Prairie Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) program; a University Small Research Grant (USRG) from Kansas State University, Kansas Ornithological Society; a Sigma Xi grant-in-aid of research; and the Division of Biology.
