Table 2. Size of the right and left glands (µm²) and the size difference between them (µm²) in flies kept unfed (with sugar water available) and flies fed singly or in groups (20 individuals) on a naive hamster.

Experimental group	Sample size (n)	Right gland size (µm²)	Left gland size (µm²)	Size difference between glands (µm²)
Unfed flies	20	29.9±7.8	26.3±7.2	3.6±2.5
Single blood-fed fly	18	37.6±6.2	22.8±5.3	14.8±4.9
Group blood-fed flies	18	36.9±9.6	26.7±9.2	10.2±6.1

All data are means±SD (sample size).
