Table A3.
Mean values for each of five crosses from the highland Ethiopian population (EF) and lowland Zambian population (ZI) for wing area (mm2), mass per female (mg), and wing loading (mg/mm2). Wing area values were averaged across 5 F1 females from each cross, and per‐female mass was calculated by weighing 20 F1 females from each cross
