Figure 2. A in Development of experimental mesocosms for cicada nymphs Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata: methodology and research recommendations

Figure 2. A paired box plot for comparing fresh weight (gram) of final instar Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata nymphs between the beginning (16-Apr, Blue) and the end (6 Jul, Red) of the mesocosm experiment. Two points of 16 Apr data with no line connected to 6 Jul are fresh weight of cicada nymphs that died until the end of experiment. Paired t-test indicated a significant increase in fresh weight of the nymphs from April to July (t = -2.8334, df = 5, p-value = 0.037).
