Appendix D. ANCOVA results for effects of focal musk thistle patch density and distance to the focal patch on Rhinocyllus conicus egg load on wavyleaf thistles and a bar graph of mean (SE) R. conicus egg load on wavyleaf thistles at sites with low vs. high musk thistle densities in the focal patch.
