  1. Prevalence by altitude (Alt.) of haemosporidian parasite lineages in great tits (Parus major) for three breeding seasons. Citations (in square brackets) indicate references which assigned lineages to morphospecies. Parentheses denote new observations (i.e. not from a recaptured individual) when it was not the same as total observations. Multiple infections are excluded. *Lineages not previously encountered in the literature. GenBank accession numbers are given as an Additional file [see Additional 1].
