Specificity in Mesograzer-Induced Defences in Seagrasses
Fig 3
Grazing impact on seagrass blades of different age during the induction phase.
Mean (± SE) number of bite marks by different mesograzer species in blades of different age of Zostera noltei (a-c) and Cymodocea nodosa (d-f). Significant interaction detected for each seagrass species separately is shown in parentheses following the seagrass name. Significant Age effect for each grazer separately is shown in parentheses within each graph (n.s. = non-significant). Different letters above age bars denote statistically significant differences in grazing impact. Numbers in parentheses indicate sample size.
