Altered feeding behavior and immune competence in paper wasps: A case of parasite manipulation?
Fig 2
Box plots show the time (0–30 sec) spent by wasps on buds in relation to bud condition (fresh vs treated), parasite (parasitized vs non-parasitized) and rearing environment (field vs lab). Field: N = 20 non-parasitised wasps, N = 25 parasitized; lab: N = 24 non-parasitised wasps, N = 24 parasitized. The plots were displayed considering the bud treatment (trial 1: Withered; trial 2: Hexane-washed; trial 3: Ethanol-washed).
