Table 1.

Multiple linear regression of tsetse puparial dry weight on maternal ovarian age or wing fray category. The dependent variable is the dry weight, in mg, of the puparium, either deposited by the female after capture, or dissected from the uterus as a full-term third instar larva. Glossina pallidipes captured in burrows, Rekomitjie Research Station, September–November 1998 and 1999. Ovarian category: R² = 0.29; N = 750. Wing fray: R² = 0.29; N = 746. Only those terms with a significant effect are included in the table. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ns p > 0.05.
