Fig. 1. Effects of larval food quantity on female dry mass and teneral metabolic reserves in both A. aegypti and Oc. atropalpus. (A) Dry mass (adjusted means ± s.e.m.; N=30) of newly emerged adults, (B) lipid amounts in newly emerged adults, (C) glycogen amounts in newly emerged adults, (D) protein amounts in newly emerged adults reared on a high larval food (striped columns) and a low larval food (grey columns) regimen. All nutrient values represent adjusted means ± s.e.m.; N=12 for Oc. atropalpus and N=8 for A. aegypti. Within each figure, columns with different letters are significantly different (from a linear contrast P<0.01). Error bars represent s.e.m. Lack of bar indicates that the s.e.m. is smaller than column scale.
