Method synopsis

Plant species composition within 15cm of Castilleja individuals is compared to random background vegetation to statistically identify overrepresented taxa as potential hosts. This provides an indirect method for detecting parasitic relationships.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.

Typical Equipment

measuring tape or calipers
data sheets

Output Measurements
