The first analysis (a) was done without covariables, the second analysis (b) with biomass and nitrogen concentration of aphid host plants as covariables. “Plant species richness” and “Legume presence”
During blood feeding haematophagous arthropods inject into their hosts a cocktail of salivary proteins whose main role is to counteract host haemostasis, inflammation and immunity. However, animal bod
