Figure 1 in Effect of Pupal Holding Density on Emergence Rate, Flight Ability, and Yield of Sterile Male Mediterranean Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Figure 1. Emergence rate (top) and flight ability (bottom) for Hawaii- and Guatemaladerived flies when held at loadings of 250, 350, or 450 ml per eclosion tower tray. Bar heights represent mean values over all trays for a given density (15 dates X 6 trays per loading amount per date = 90 trays total), and error bars represent 1 SE.

Figure 2. Estimated numbers of fliers produced per tower (top) and ratios of number of fliers produced to number of pupae placed per tower (bottom) in relation to the pupal loading level per constituent tray. Hawaii-derived flies were used exclusively; towers contained 52 trays. Symbols represent means over 33 towers per loading level (3 towers per test day x 11 test days); error bars represent ± 1 SE.

Figure 2 in Variation in glyphosate effects and accumulation in emergent macrophytes

Figure 2. Concentration-response relationships for Phragmites australis (top graph), Typha latifolia (middle graph) and Typha × glauca (bottom graph) based on the proportion of dead shoots observed 27 days post-exposure to 0–8% glyphosate (Roundup WeatherMAX® formulation). Each treatment was replicated seven times per taxa, except T. latifolia at 5% (n = 6). Measured concentrations were used for modelling (Table S2). Grey points represent the replicates and are darker when points overlap; grey shading illustrates the 95% confidence bounds of the concentration-response model; solid red dots represent LC50 estimates; LC50 estimates on top left corner of each graph are given with lower and upper 95% confidence limits.

Four replicates per taxon and treatment, except for TL at 5% (n = 3); error bars represent standard errors of the means; letters a-b (left plot) and c-d (right plot) indicate significant differences in residues among taxa.

Figure 1. Representative replicates of the control treatment (tap water) and glyphosate (Roundup WeatherMAX® formulation) concentrations of 8% (43.2 g L-1) and 5% (27.0 g L-1) on day 4, 11 and 27 post-exposure. Each replicate (blue bucket) contained one pot of Typha latifolia (in the back), one pot of Typha × glauca (in the front), and one pot of Phragmites australis (on the left), and was sprayed with 50 mL of the respective treatment solution evenly covering aboveground plant tissues.
