Figure 2From: Aphid facultative symbionts reduce survival of the predatory lady beetle Hippodamia convergensSurviving lady beetles fed aphids with facultative symbionts during development have significantly increased final weight. A) Female lady beetles fed aphids with no symbiont or fed aphids with a facultative symbiont (trials with aphid with S. symbiotica or with H. defensa combined). B) Male lady beetles fed aphids with no symbiont or fed aphids with a facultative symbiont.Back to article page
