2a: Summary graphs showing the main effect of i) Offspring food (low and high) ii) Gender (male and female) iii) Parental food (low and high) and the iv) interaction between parent and offspring on emergence time. Emergence time was measured as the number of days taken post hatching to emerge as an adult. In total the emergence time of 938 mosquitoes was recorded. For this and all following analysis, 'experimental block' interactions were fitted. Each graph including those below, represents the least square means and the associated standard error. Note that in some cases the dashed line is obscured by the solid line in the interaction graphs. 2b: Summary graphs showing the main effect of i) Offspring food ii) Gender iii) Parental food and the iv) interaction between parent and offspring on adult size. Adult size was determined from the wing length of each mosquito. In total the wing length of 747 mosquitoes was recorded. 2c: Summary graphs showing the main effect of i) Offspring food ii) Gender iii) Parental food, and the iv) interaction between parent and offspring on adult survival. Adult survival was determined as the number of days the mosquito remained alive, post hatching in the absence of water or glucose. In total the wing length of 747 mosquitoes was recorded.
