Figure 2

Shape variation in field uninfected, infected field cage and infected field released A. aegypti. Principal components showing the variation in shape for which PC1 explained the greatest variation followed by PC2, PC3, PC4 and so on. (A) PC1 vs. PC2 and (B) PC3 vs. PC4. Means and standard deviations of each group and ellipse outlining 90% of data, showing the high degree of overlap in variation for all groups within the double sticky trap (DST) and field cage data. Both w MelPop-CLA-infected and uninfected mosquitoes were caught in DSTs. (C) Shape variation in PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4. The procedure over-exaggerates the variation, thus the shape variations were scaled down 10 times.
