Figure 4.

Influence of symbionts on reproductive traits of aposymbiotic (grey contours) and symbiotic (black contours) O. surinamensis females from the JKI-2 experimental lines. Shown is (A) the lifetime reproductive output (number of eggs) of a single female and (B) the number of offspring from a single female that reached the reproductive (adult) stage. Lines in contours indicate median of the respective sample group. No significant differences were observed using Wilcoxon rank sum test (ns = p > 0.05).
