Reproducibility within the replicates. (a) Distribution of protein abundance in each sample. The box plots show the degree of dispersion of the protein expression level (abundance), and the violin plots display the distribution and probability density of protein expression levels. (b) PCA plot based on the complete proteomic dataset. (c) Correlation plot between samples. Pro: protonymphs; Deu: deutonymphs; Adu: adult mites; and Rep: reproductive mites.
