Fig. 4From: The host fruit amplifies mutualistic interaction between Ceratitis capitata larvae and associated bacteriaEffect of larvae on bacterial abundance in fruit. Average larval length (blue rectangles) and concentration of bacteria (as CFU.g−1Fruit pulp) (black triangles) as affected by the number of larvae developing in apricot fruits. The bacterial titer was significantly correlated with the number of larvae in fruits (P = 0.044). Larval length was not significantly correlated with the number of larvae developing in the fruit (P = 0.336)Back to article page
