Figure 1.
Proportion of water mass lost at 0% relative humidity (RH) and 25 °C after removal of an individual female held in containers containing 0, 1, 10 and 20 males for 6 h. Water loss rates were determined according to Benoit et al. [39]. Water loss rate is presented as percent water lost per hour. Data represents the mean ± SE, N = 30.*, significantly different from 0 males (P < 0.05).
