Note:

Mean predator and parasitoid wasp abundance per 7-day sample from sticky cards in 2012 (top) and 2016 (bottom), reported as mean (± standard error) with n indicating the number of trees. Predator tests were performed separately from parasitoid tests for each year-genus pair. Within each year-genus pair, tree species that share a letter are not different (α = 0.05) based on a Kruskal–Wallis test with a Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) post hoc comparison. Letters are provided only when the overall Kruskal–Wallis test indicated a significant difference between species. Tree species are ordered alphabetically within each year-genus pair.
