Variable descriptions
Data1: Host-parasite records.
Host Name. Host binomial using Wilson and Reeder 2005 taxonomy.
Parasite Name. Parasite name using Global Mammal Parasite Database taxonomy
Parasite Type. Bacteria; Fungi; Helminth; Protozoa; Virus.
VI. Parasites transmitted by vectors or intermediate hosts. 0 = not transmitted by this mode; 1 = transmitted by this mode only;
2 = transmitted by both modes.
noVI. Parasites transmitted more directly (i.e, sexual, vertical, close and non-close transmission). 0 = not transmitted by this mode; 1 = transmitted by this mode only;
2 = transmitted by both modes
Data2: Differences in ecological and distributional variables among pairs of primate species.
species1. Binomial of species 1 using Wilson and Reeder 2005 taxonomy.
species2. Binomial of species 2 using Wilson and Reeder 2005 taxonomy.
divergence time. Divergence time in millions of years from Bininda Emonds et al 2007 supertree
parasites1. Number of parasites found in species 1
parasites2. Number of parasites found in species 2
citsum. Sum of citation counts. Citation counts are the number of references retrieved from the ISI Web of Knowledge (http://wokinfo.com/; accessed 5 July 2012), where the Latin binomial of the species appeared in either the title or topic fields, and either ‘parasite’, ‘disease’ or ‘pathogen’ also appeared in the topic field. Where the species binomial had
changed between 1993 and 2005 (Wilson & Reeder 1993, 2005), we summed the number of citations for the species names from both taxonomies.
citdiff. Difference between citation counts
GRoverlap. Magnitude of geographic range overlap in km2
distance. Geodesic distance between species geographic range centroids (km)
BMdiff. Difference between adult body mass (g)
Groupdiff. Difference in social group size (number of individuals)
Terrdiff. Difference in degree of terrestriality. Terrestriality is defined as terrestrial (> 90% of time on ground), semiterrestrial (< 90%, but > 50% of time on ground), semi-arboreal (< 90%, but > 50% of time in trees) or arboreal (> 90% of time in trees).
Tempdiff. Difference in mean annual temperature
across the species' geographic ranges (oC)
Precdiff. Difference in mean annual temperature across the species' geographic ranges (mm)
parsim (NA). Parasite community similarity for species 1 and 2 using Jaccard's index
parsim (GR1). Parasite community similarity for species 1 and 2 using modified Jaccard's index using GR1 formulation of parasite geographic range (see Methods)
parsim (GR2). Parasite community similarity for species 1 and 2 using modified Jaccard's index using GR2 formulation of parasite geographic range (see Methods)
