F1 progeny virulence against G. mellonella. Bars indicate the mean and SE resulting from a one-way ANOVA. Letters above bars show results from post hoc Tukey test. n = 3 for each nematode-bacterium treatment. Values were calculated as the percent of insects that died by 48 h in each independent experimental setup. Cognate symbionts are highlighted with a heavy outline. A. S. intermedium: F8, 18 = 6.857, p = 0.0004, R 2 = 0.7529; B. S. oregonense: F8, 18 = 20.846, p < 0.0001, R 2 = 0.9026; and C. S. puntauvense: F8, 18 = 34.312, p 0.0001, R 2 = 0.9385. post-
