Two approximations of mean parasite per capita growth rate under different parasite doses to mosquito hosts. John Soghigian Todd Livdahl 10.1371/journal.pone.0184573.g004 https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/Two_approximations_of_mean_parasite_per_capita_growth_rate_under_different_parasite_doses_to_mosquito_hosts_/5403859 <p>Parasite growth rate declined significantly regardless of which growth rate type, including oocysts from the male mosquito (r<sub>p</sub>) or not including them (r<sub>m</sub>) was used, suggesting an effect of density on parasite growth. Colored letters correspond to separate Tukey’s HSD tests on ANOVA models of each growth rate approximation. Whiskers are bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals (1000 replicates). Mean points are dodged for visibility.</p> 2017-09-13 17:38:50 dispersal strategies parasite exposure levels capita growth rate mosquito host sex strategy parasite Ascogregarina taiwanensis Mixed dispersal strategies
