Fig. 4. Feeding rate on radiolabelled `young' and `old' diets by three clones of
Myzus persicae. Values are the means ± S.E.M.
(N=15-20). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) after log-transformation
of feeding rate: aphid protein content (covariate):
F1,111=9.31, P<0.05; diet:
F1,111=33.86, P<0.05; clone:
F2,111=52.90, P<0.05; interaction:
F2,111=1.09, P>0.1. *Significant
difference between diets (two-sample t-test of log-transformed data:
ADAS 99/13, RB/4158; or MannWhitney U-test of untransformed
data: ADAS 99/12) using Bonferroni correction for multiple tests.
