Lipid content data in Culex females. (A) One-week-old females were defined as being in a diapause state if they contained >150 µg of lipid, a nondiapause state if they had <80 µg lipid, and an intermediate state if they had 81–149 µg lipid. Cx. pipiens n = 10; female Cx. pipiens ×male Cx. quinquefasciatus n = 25; female Cx. quinquefasciatus ×male Cx. pipiens n = 25; Cx. quinquefasciatus n = 10. Bars represent SEs, and different letters indicate significant differences in diapause status between the two sets of hybrid mosquitoes. (B) Mean ± SE lipid content in 1-wk-old female mosquitoes reared under diapause-inducing conditions (a photoperiod of 8:16 [L:D] h; 18°C). Different letters indicate significant differences. Cx. pipiens n = 10; female Cx. pipiens × male Cx. quinquefasciatus n = 25; female Cx. quinquefasciatus × male Cx. pipiens n = 25; Cx. quinquefasciatus n = 10. Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks H = 45.225; df = 3; P < 0.0001 with Dunn multiple comparison test for significance among groups.
