Temperature Affects the Tripartite Interactions between Bacteriophage WO, Wolbachia, and Cytoplasmic Incompatibility
Figure 2
Effect of Temperature on Wolbachia Densities.
Wolbachia densities are significantly lower in all stages of 18 C-treated wasps and in those that are exposed to 30 C from the egg stage of development. Points on the chart denote the number of Wolbachia genomes per N. vitripennis genome of an individual two-day old male after exposure to cold (A) or heat (B) treatment. Bars represent means.
