Time-travelling pathogens and their risk to ecological communities
Fig 6
Comparison of invader persistence in simulations where we observed either losses or gains in free-living species diversity (compared to control simulations).
Type I probability derived from Wilcoxon double-sided test (nhigh loss = 23; nhigh gain = 13), p = 3.3×10−5. Boxes indicate first and third quartiles, horizontal lines indicate median values, whiskers indicate largest/lowest points inside the range defined by the 1st or 3rd quartile + 1.5 times the interquartile range and circles indicate outliers.
