Parasitoid_susceptibility_data

Spreadsheet "Parasitoid_susceptibility" contains the results of the parasitoid susceptibility assay. We exposed groups of 30 aphids, representing one of two Sitobion avenae genotypes and either facultative endosymbiont-free or hosting one of Hamiltonella or Regiella strains, to females of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius ervi. After fifteen days, all aphids were checked for survival, and whether the parasitoid pupated within those aphids that died. In the spreadsheet, each row represents a replicate of approx. 30 aphids. Columns are as follows:
***Host_genotype - either Co23 or Co26; ***Symbiont_presence - 0 (no symbiont), Hami (Hamiltonella) or Reg (Regiella); ***Symbiont_genotype; ***Block - numbers denote unique experimental blocks; ***Alive - the number of aphids in a replicate that were alive at the time of the final census; ***Mummified - the number of exposed aphids which died, and within which the parasitoid pupated; ***Dead_not_mummified - the number of aphids which died over the course of the experiment, and within which the pathogen did not pupate; ***Total - the total number of aphids scored
