Figure 9

(a) The pre-adult duration, (b) the adult stage duration, (c) total life span, and (d) fecundity in aposymbiont and control insects. Shading of boxes denotes the experimental treatment (the aposymbiont insects). Lines represent medians, boxes comprise the 10–90 percentile, and whiskers denote the range. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between the control and the aposymbiont insects (Kruskal-Wallis test, P < 0.0001).
