Calorie content of diet affects female life-long egg-laying patterns. A Total average lifelong egg number produced by female CS flies kept on a high-calorie diet (brown) or low-calorie diet (green), and flies shifted from a low- to high- (magenta) or from a high- to a low-calorie diet (blue) on day 10. B Comparison of average egg production of female flies shifted from a low (L)- to a high-calorie diet (H) or a high- to low-calorie diet at 10 days during whole life. C Comparisons of lifelong average daily egg production for female kept on a low (green) calorie diet to eggs produced by females shifted at 10 days from a high- to a low-calorie diet on day 10 (blue). D Comparisons of lifelong average daily egg production for females kept on a high-calorie diet (brown) to eggs produced by females shifted at 10 days from a high- to a low-calorie diet (blue). E Comparisons of lifelong average daily egg production for females kept on a low-calorie diet (green) to eggs produced by females shifted at 10 days from a low- to a high-calorie diet (magenta). F Comparisons of lifelong average daily egg production for females kept on a high-calorie diet (brown) to eggs produced by females shifted at 10 days from a low- to a high-calorie diet (magenta). G Total average egg production during the period between 6–10 and 11–15 days produced by female CS flies kept on a high- (brown) or low-calorie diet (green), and flies shifted from a low- to a high- (magenta) or from a high- to a low-calorie diet (blue) on day 10. H Cumulative egg production in wild-type female CS flies kept on a high- (brown) or low-calorie diet (green), and flies shifted from a low- to a high- (magenta) or from a high- to a low-calorie diet (blue) on day 10. One to 15 days were analyzed separately using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Post-hoc analysis was conducted using Dunn’s test, correcting for multiple comparisons using GraphPad Prism 9.4.1, Results represent SEM. There were 20 female flies in each experiment. p: 0.033 (*), 0.002 (**), 0.0002 (***), < 0.0001 (****)
