Effects of ant-mealybug mutualism on cotton leaf roller prevalence in field investigation. (A) Leaf roller infection percentage per plant; (B) leaf roller egg abundance per plant. Boxes extends from the 25^th to 75^th percentiles, with the band indicating median; whiskers represent the 5^th and 95^th percentiles; dots outside the whiskers are outliers. Boxes sharing the same letters indicate no significant differences among treatments (P > 0.05). The number of leaf roller eggs was log₁₀ transformed.
