- Association Three host species differentially affected Castilleja flower production.
- Association Parasite biomass did not differ by host species.
- Association Parasite performance was weakest on a leguminous host.
- Association Host dry mass was negatively correlated with parasite mass across all three host species.
- Association Larger parasite mass correlated with smaller combined biomass for E. staechadifolium.
- Association Combined host parasite mass was not correlated with parasite mass for the other two hosts.
- Observation Aphid survival was 68.2% on parasites using L. arboreus.
- Observation Aphid survival was 65.3% on parasites using A. pycnocephala.
- Observation Aphid survival was 49.5% on parasites using E. staechadifolium.
- Association Aphids on parasites using L. arboreus produced 2.43 times more offspring than those using E. staechadifolium.
- Association Aphids on parasites using A. pycnocephala produced 1.77 times more offspring than those using E. staechadifolium.
