Honeydew emission per aphid during the first five days of the experiment. The daily number of droplets emitted per aphid is given according to its infection status, making a distinction between droplets of which the release was either spontaneous or stimulated by the ants. N values are the numbers of observations made per condition of bacterial infection status and time. Mean and standard error values are provided, as well as p-values of two-ways repeated measures ANOVA (*, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001), the ant’s colony is treated as within subject factor. For each type of emitted droplets, post-hoc multiple pairwise comparisons (PWC) were performed when effects were significant, and adjusted using Tukey’s method, p-values are indicated (*, p < 0.05) and experimental days sharing a common letter are not significantly different.
