Fig. 2. Hemolymph ecdysteroid titers in a single larva (filled circles) and
ecdysteroid secretion by a single set of thorax and abdomen (bars) at
different times during A. aegypti fourth larval stadium and in 12 h
old pupae (P). Each point or bar represents least square means ±
s.e.m.; N=27. For ecdysteroid secretion values, columns with
different letters are significantly different from each other
(TukeyKramer HSD, P
