The first multi-panel scientific figure, Figure 1, was the figure in which the Methods section was based on. The second multi-panel scientific figure, Figure 2, was constructed using the Methods section provided. Both figures were constructed using Microsoft Word. Additionally both figures portray the parasitic interaction between the English Ivy (Hendera helix) and the Sweet Olive tree (Osmanthus fragrans) found inside the Durfee Conservatory located on the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Four main observational differences were observed between Figure 1 and Figure 2. First, Figure 2 is significantly darker in color than the original figure. Although they both contain a yellow-tinted background, the replicate Figure 2 displays a dark yellow, orange color. In contrast, I observed a light, yellow-beige color in Figure 1.

The photographs in Figure 2 have a different tone of natural light shining on the plants, the light is more apparent and golden, casting shadows. In Figure 1, the natural lighting in the photographs display a more bright, constant lighting throughout the photos without casting any shadows. Additionally in Figure 2 the arrows used on the photo “parasitism” are both angled horizontally, pointing towards the left direction. In contrast, in Figure 1 in the “parasitism” photo, the two arrows are facing opposite directions.The blue arrow is pointing in the right direction and the red arrow is pointing in the left direction. The arrows in Figure 1 have a shorter width than the arrows in Figure 2. Finally in Figure 1 the photographs size ~3.9” in height by a ~3.1” width, however in Figure 2, the size of the photographs are significantly less than this size range.
