From: Genome expansion of an obligate parthenogenesis-associated Wolbachia poses an exception to the symbiont reduction model

Fig. 5

Multiple positive correlations associated with genome evolution in Wolbachia. Legend: Correlations between a) genome size and amount of integrated phage DNA both in number of basepairs, b) host and Wolbachia genome size in mega basepairs, c) number of DNA-repair related genes and Wolbachia genome size and d) host and Wolbachia number of genes. Red data points indicate obligate transitional and black facultative endosymbionts; all points are labelled with strain names and for the correlations with the host the four strains residing in Drosophila simulans were averaged and labeled as Dsw. Spearman’s rank correlations and corresponding P-values calculated in R are shown in the top corner of every plot
