Table 1. Statistical wing size comparison.

To determine the size of wings, we measured the total pixel number from pictures of five individual female wings using the lasso tool of Adobe Photoshop. The significance of different wing sizes was determined by unpaired t-test analysis assuming equal variances between individual wing samples. Significant differences (<0.05) are shown in bold. Unless indicated otherwise, the samples are compared to wings of heterozygous A9-GAL4 females (1).
