Fig 4. Short photoperiod increases starvation resistance.

Fig 4

A) Daily survival for adult females provided with access to water only. Data is shown as mean with SEM (n = 2–4 experimental replicates, 24–42 females per replicate; Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test; *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001). B) Total daily locomotor activity over 3 days by females provided access to water only. Data is shown as median with range. (n = 3 experimental replicates, n = 6–16 females/replicate; Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn’s multiple comparisons test; *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001) C—F) Relative C) triacylglycerols (TAG), D) glucose, E) glycogen, and F) trehalose levels in whole females (groups of 5) collected after 0 and 4 days of starvation. Data is shown as median with range. n = 3 experimental replicates, 4 groups of 5 females per replicate; two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test; letters indicate statistically distinct groups p < 0.05).
