Regression relationship between fecundity and wing length of mosquitoes from larval (a) and adult nutrition (b). HL: high larval nutrition, LL: low larval nutrition, GA: good adult nutrition, PA: poor adult nutrition. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the positive relationship between fecundity and wing length did not change at different nutritional levels of larval (slope = 66.79, p < 0.001) or adult nutrition (slope = 111.54, p < 0.001). The effects of nutritional treatments on fecundity after controlling for the effect of body size (wing length) were significant (larval nutrition: F2,197 = 70.91, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.42; adult nutrition: F2,197 = 74.74, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.43)
