Productive infections resulting from Steinernema-Xenorhabdus experimental associations. Bars indicate the mean and SE resulting from a one-way ANOVA. Letters above bars show statistical ranking from post hoc Tukey test. n = 3 for each nematode-bacterium treatment. These values were calculated as the percent of cadavers that produce progeny in each independent experimental setup. Cognate symbionts are highlighted with a heavy outline. A. S. intermedium: F9, 20 = 8.3957, p < 0.0001, R 2 = 0.7907; B. S. oregonense: F9, 20 = 15.764, p < 0.0001, R 2 = 0.8764; and C. S. puntauvense: F9, 20 = 11.585, p 0.0001, R 2 = 0.8391
