Results of Conover-Iman tests on the species differences of body parts in absolute thallus density. The column “Largest thallus density” shows which host species had highest number of thalli on a given body part; species names in parentheses indicate that the difference between the specified species and one of the other two species is not significant; “none” means that the three species did not differ significantly from one another.
