Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences versus the preceding phase in wild specimens and in captive-reared specimens distinctly,
† denote significant differences between wild and captive-reared individuals at the same phase of the reproductive cycle. PC, phosphatidylcholine; PS, phosphatidylserine; PI, phosphatidylinositol; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; TAG, triacylglycerols; TPL, total polar lipids.
