Fig 5
Percentages of apoptotic nuclei in the hemolymph, ciliated and bacteriocyte zone of B. azoricus and B. puteoserpentis.
Different letters (a,b) indicate the plots in which median values are statistically different (Wilcoxon test) and n indicates the number of specimens. Boxplot whiskers indicate minimal and maximal values on a single image, the line inside the box is the median, and the upper and lower frames of the boxes represent the first and third quartile respectively.
