Fig 2. Life history traits of P. pacificus cultured on the yeasts C. albidus and C. curvatus.

Fig 2

The boxplots show the median, first and third quartile values from different life history traits experiments. A) Brood size of P. pacificus grown on C. albidus (C3), C. curvatus (C5) and E. coli OP50. Brood size was calculated as average number of progeny of 10 J4 larvae. B) Pharyngeal pumping rate results of P. pacificus exposed to Cryptococcus species. Assay was performed using E. coli OP50 as control. C) Defecation time (10 mins) of P. pacificus exposed to C. albidus (C3) and C. curvatus (C5) using E. coli OP50 as control. D) Eurystomatous (Eu) ratio of P. pacificus adults grown on C. albidus (C3) and C. curvatus (C5). Eu ratio was calculated from five biological replicates. Statistical significance was calculated using student t-test.
