Figure 2

(A) Leptomonas wallacei infection induces host morphology alterations. Different body parts of uninfected (above) and infected (below) Oncopeltus fasciatus side by side for comparison (1- rostrum, 2- antenna, 3- forewing, and 4- body length). Principal components analysis (PCA) plots for the morphometric data in females (B) and males (C). All morphometric variables were transformed using the PCA, the first and second principal components were plotted, and each point graphically represents a sample (infected-red dots and uninfected-green dots). (D) Generalized linear model (GLM) prediction of the probability of being infected. Results of GLM prediction of the probability of being infected in response to the size principal component derived using the PCA for males and females in the adult dataset.
