Fig. 2 — (A) Adult females reared from extended quiescence eggs exhibited 12.9% significantly greater survival time (LT₅₀) on a diet of only water than adult females reared from short quiescence eggs (N=45, log rank, p<0.01). Larval metal stress reduced adult survival times significantly more in the short quiescence females (20%) than in the extended quiescence females (11.4%) when compared to their clean reared counterparts (N=45, log rank, p<0.01). (B) Adult females reared from extended quiescence eggs emerged with 33% significantly more neutral lipid reserves than adult females reared from short quiescence eggs (t test, one tailed, p<0.05, t=2.289, df=4); larval metal stress response reduced lipids significantly more in females from short quiescence than in females from extended quiescence, i.e., 20.0 vs. 11.4% respectively. (t test, one tailed, p<0.05, t=2.350, df=4). Starvation tolerance and neutral lipids reserves are highly correlated (inset). (Legend follows Fig. 1).
