Effects of treatments on host tolerance in B. terrestris microcolonies. (A) Effect on parasite establishment (i.e., three days after inoculation), (B) Effect on parasite growth. Data in blue represent prophylactic treatments, and data in gold represent therapeutic treatments. Points are mean values of each treatment and error bars indicate the standard error of means. Letters indicate significance at p < 0.05; blue letters refer to comparisons across pollen within prophylactic treatments, gold letters refer to comparisons across pollen within therapeutic treatments, and statistical significance code refers to comparison between treatments (prophylactic vs. therapeutic) (n.s., p > 0.05; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001). Pairwise comparisons were performed based on a priori contrasts.
