a-e - Direct and carry-over effects of phenotypic quality and water availability on physiological and metabolic parameters. Fig. 2a-e. Effects of mosquito phenotypic quality induced by larval nutritional stress and water availability on 5 physiological and metabolic parameters of females at the end of the 7-day hydric stress experiment (grey bars), the end of 7 d + desiccation challenge experiments (white bars), and the percentage difference between the two experiments (black bars - right axis). All parameters were corrected for body size. Confidence intervals are indicated and P-values for Mann-Whitney tests comparing parameters between the two experiments in each experimental groups are shown as * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, NS not significant.
