Calculations were based on the frequency of representative ITS-sequence variants (TCS-types) in C. mesnili parasite DNA (20 pooled Daphnia hosts per sample; for selection of samples see Table 1 and main text). Significance levels from separate analyses to test for structures in space and time, respectively, were Bonferroni corrected (adjusted P-values: *P <0.05; **P <0.01; ***P <0.001).
