Male survival under standard insectary conditions and intense desiccation. (A, B) Survival curves and median survival in virgin male progeny from field-caught females, males of the KIL and Mopti strains and in heterotic males kept under standard insectary conditions. (C, D) Survival curves and median survival of the four male treatment groups under intense desiccation. Boxplots indicate medians and first and third quartiles and whiskers are the same quartiles ±(1.5 × interquartile range). Bars sharing a letter are nonsignificantly different, those with different letters significantly different.
