Properties of different H. defensa strains and experimental design. A Effect of different H. defensa strains on lifetime offspring production (cost) and susceptibility to parasitism (benefit) of black bean aphids, Aphis fabae (adapted from Cayetano et al. 2015). Aphids belonged to a single clone (A06–407) and were either uninfected (H0) or infected with different H. defensa strains. Strains that we used in this experiment are marked in colour: H15 (blue), H402 (orange), H76 (grey) and H85 (red). B Our experiment compares gene expression between sublines of the aphid clone A06–407 infected by H. defensa (infecting strains: H15, H402, H76 or H85) and the uninfected subline (H0)
