Table 4.

Multivariate pairwise contrasts for effects of larval density treatments on male (df = 3, 37) and female (df = 3, 38) Ae. albopictus response variables; time to emergence, survivorship to emergence, and adult mass. standardized canonical coefficients (SCCs) show the relative contribution of each of the response variables to significant pairwise contrasts.
