Tukey’s HSD test for differences among means (P < 0.05) were run separately for males and females and results are provided as upper case letters and lower case letters, respectively.

Cx pipiens collected from seven different catch basins in 2009.

Stable isotope concentrations were 0.04, 0.08, and 0.12 atom% ¹⁵N for the low, medium, and high treatments, respectively.
