Effects of Crithidia infection and anabasine on microcolony performance in the Life History Experiment.

Microcolonies were observed daily for (A) survival of individuals, (B) time to first egg production, and (C) time to first honeypot construction. Differences in hazard rates across treatments were assessed by Cox mixed-effects proportional hazards models. (D) Total larval mass per microcolony at 14 d after first egg production was tested for the subset of microcolonies that produced eggs.
