From: Can snow depth be used to predict the distribution of the high Arctic aphid Acyrthosiphon svalbardicum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Spitsbergen?

Figure 5

Patch occupancy. In the figure patch occupancy is represented in relation to snow depth and plant phenology. The graph represents the patches occupied by the aphid (filled circles) and empty patches (blank circles) in relation to snow depth (measured in April) and plant phenology (measured in August) (0: No bud visible; 1: Stamens visible; 2: Petals senescing; 3: Seed head visible above petals; 4: Seed head untwisting; 5: Seed head twisting).
