Path diagrams showing direct and indirect correlations of predator activity (Red fox Vulpes vulpes, and Stone marten Martes foina) and larval Ixodes ricinus density with rodent density, mean larval burden on rodents and density of questing nymphs for A) Bank voles (Myodes glareolus) and B) Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus). Thick arrows indicate statistically supported paths. Path coefficients have 95% confidence interval between brackets.
