Symbiont-mediated protection varies with wasp genotype in the Drosophila melanogaster-Spiroplasma interaction.

For attack with the Lh-Mad wasp strain, wasp attack also had a highly significant effect on wing size, with the wing size of wasp attacked female D. melanogaster on average 0.05 mm 2 (4%) smaller than control D. melanogaster (Mean ± SE = 1.17 ± 0.006 mm 2 for attacked flies vs. 1.22 ± 0.006 mm 2 for unattacked flies; F = 31.9, d.f. = 1162, P < 0.001; Fig. 4 ).
