Figure 3 in Shi et al. (2025): "The survival probability of Gelis agilis females was studied in microcosmos arenas that differed in complexity, and in which provisioning of food and cocoons was (a) temporally or (b) spatially separated. In single dish arenas with 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 compartments, respectively (a), provisioning of food and cocoons was alternated every 48 h. In two-dish arenas with 1, 4 or 9 compartments, respectively, connected by a tube (b), food was offered in one dish and cocoons in the other. In the two-dish arenas, food and cocoons were replaced every 48 h, but were both provided simultaneously. The dotted lines depict median survival, and the coloured shaded areas represent the 95% confidence interval for the survival curves. The number of replicates is 10 per arena type in (a) and 30 in (b). In (b), the arrows on the x-axis represent the median longevity of females provided only with food and no hosts (experiment 2.2)."
