Relationship between number of tending ants and the three most abundant parasitoid species.

<p>Treatments and sample times are low (triangles) and high (circles) ant attendance treatments sampled in February (closed symbols) and April (open symbols). Relationship metrics are: graph a) low ant attendance February sample: y = 70277e^−0.301x, R² = 0.464; low ant attendance April sample: y = 839.3e^−0.454x, R² = 0.827; high ant attendance: y = 2930.6x^−2.079, R² = 0.753; graph b) low ant attendance February sample: y = 10.316x^−1.128, R² = 0.496; high ant attendance: y = 523271x^−3.87, R² = 0.638.
