Appendix G. A figure of lace bug abundance and damage level in the field survey and common garden experiment.

 

FigG1

Fig. G1. (a) Average number of lace bugs per leaf and (b) Average lace bug damage level per leaf among natural populations of S. altissima with different establishment years of lace bugs. Open circles indicate averaged value per population. 5–10 genotypes were randomly selected (three ramets per genotype) in each population (i.e., 15–30 ramets per population). The number of populations of each establishment year (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12) is 7, 5, 11, 8, 2, 2, 5, and 7 respectively.

Fig. G2. Lace bug abundance per ramet (mean ± SE) and damage level per leaf (mean ± SE) in June, July, and August in natural populations in 2012. See Table B1 for abbreviations of populations.

Fig. G3. Growth pattern of (a) number of lace bugs (mean ± SE), and (b) temporal changes in damage level (mean ± SE) per ramet since lace bug inoculation in the common garden experiment. Invasion stage A: non-invaded site; invasion stage B: 1~3 year invaded site; invasion stage C: 6~8 year invaded site; invasion stage D: 11 year invaded site.
