FIGURE 5.
Nematodes colonized 30 baits across six experimental plots, each containing a randomized grid of 4 replicates of each of 6 types of bait differing only in accessibility (143 baits all together with one lost). Accessibility ranged from no barrier to being accessible via 0.01 mm pores. Colonization varied significantly by bait accessibility. C. tropicalis and C. briggsae both colonized baits isolated from the environment and accessible only by phoresy while O. tipulae was only found to colonize baits making direct contact with the ground.
