Figure 5
Life history parameters (means ± SE) of M. mediator parasitizing H. armigera fed with wheat grain grown under ambient and elevated CO2.
(a) Parasitism rate (%), (b) Emergence rate (%), (c) Cocoon weight (mg), (d) Female cocoon weight compared with male cocoon weight (mg), (e) Wasp weight (mg), (f) Female wasp weight compared with male wasp weight (mg). (g) Cocoon lifespan (days), (h) Wasp lifespan (days). Each value represents the mean (±SE). * indicates statistically significant differences and n.s. indicates no statistically significant difference (LSD test, P < 0.05).
