Differences in wing length (a), fecundity (b) and survival (c) of Aedes aegypti between treatment levels. HL: high larval nutrition, LL: low larval nutrition, GA: good adult nutrition and PA: poor adult nutrition, vs: versus, NS.: not significant, ***: p < 0.001. The line within each box indicates the median and the edges of each box the first (Q1) and third (Q3) quartiles; the whiskers extend over 1.5 times the interquartile range. A significant difference in wing length between two levels of larval nutrition was found (two-way ANOVA, for HL vs LL: F_{1, 193} = 336.77, p < 0.001, for GA vs PA: F_{1, 193} = 0.09, p = 0.77). For fecundity, both the comparisons between two levels of larval and adult nutrition were significant (two-way ANOVA, for HL vs LL: F_{1, 182} = 194.25, p < 0.001; for GA vs PA: F_{1, 182} = 29.43, p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in survival between two levels of adult nutrition (two-way ANOVA, for GA vs PA: F_{1, 190} = 36.44, p < 0.001, for HL vs LL: F_{1, 190} = 1.67, p = 0.20)
