Fig. 5From: Differential effects of larval and adult nutrition on female survival, fecundity, and size of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegyptiRegression 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)Back to article page
