Figure 1: Pervasive increases in endophytic bacterial load in herbivore-damaged leaves.

Figure 1:

a–b. Posterior predicted (‘pp.’) infection intensity of bacterial amplicon sequence variants (bASV) from the 14 most prevalence bacterial families show variation in the extent of elevated growth in herbivore-damaged leaf tissue. a. Heatmap shows median predicted log10 bacterial abundance (colony-forming units, CFU) per g starting leaf material) from 200 posterior simulations of the best-fitting model of each bacterial family separately (see Methods). b. Boxplots showing median (white), 95% (thin), and 50% (thick) quantiles of the posterior predicted median difference in the number of bacterial cell divisions (i.e., doublings) achieved in herbivore-damaged leaves compared to undamaged leaves, for sites EL and NP separately.
