Evolution of Plastic Transmission Strategies in Avian Malaria
Figure 1
(A) Overview of the experiment with the 3 exposure sessions (grey areas).
Arrows indicate the times at which blood samples were taken from the birds: red arrows for the 5 samples taken in and around the time of the mosquito exposure, blue arrows for the regular monitoring of parasitaemia before and between exposures. One unit = 10 days. (B) Zoom on an exposure session: each rectangle represents a day. Black rectangles: blood sample in the morning, mosquito exposure in the evening. Grey rectangles: blood sample in the morning, no mosquito exposure. White rectangles: no mosquito exposure, no blood sampling. Red arrows and figures underneath indicate dates where blood sampling took place in each of the 3 sessions. The mosquito drawing indicates a mosquito exposure.
