Infectious Speciation Revisited: Impact of Symbiont-Depletion on Female Fitness and Mating Behavior of Drosophila paulistorum
Figure 6
Frequencies of successful heterogamic matings of D. paulistorum females.
Box plots represent distribution of mating frequencies obtained from interstrain mating choice assays with Amazonian (AM), Centroamerican (CA), Orinocan (OR) and Andean-Brazilian (AB; lines POA1 and POA10, respectively) semispecies (females are first named). Tested lines were kept on normal food, or on 0.01% (A,B), 0.1% (C–F) and 0.2% Rifampicin (G–I). Mating frequency was determined by number of successful heterogamic matings out of twelve females in five replicas each (Table S2). Combinations of heterogamic mating choice pairs are indicated by U/U = both partners untreated; T/T = both treated; T/U = females treated, males untreated; and U/T = females untreated, males treated. Statistical significant values are indicated by one, two or three asterisks, i.e., P<0.05, P<0.01 and P<0.001, respectively; and statistical outliers by black stars.
