Fig. 2: Aphid spatial distribution on infected and uninfected plants in the field for both aphid species.

From: Enhanced heat tolerance of viral-infected aphids leads to niche expansion and reduced interspecific competition

a Correlation between plant temperature and plant height. b, c Temperature at the location occupied by each aphid species, when occurring alone or together, on plants infected by BYDV-PAV (b) and BYDV-RMV (c). d, e Distance to ground for locations occupied by each aphid species, when occurring alone or together, on plants infected by BYDV-PAV (d) and BYDV-RMV (e). Nonparametric ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis (boxplots display median line, interquartile range (IQR) boxes, 1.5 × IQR whiskers; n = 10 plants per treatment), *p < 0.05. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
