TABLE 7.

Mean (± SE) lipid content of Ophraella communa female adults when eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults were exposed to thermal stress, i.e., 28 (control), 40, 42, and 44°C, for 3 h each day for 3, 5, 5, and 5 days, respectively (by stage).

40	0.37 ± 0.02a, A	0.39 ± 0.02a, A	0.32 ± 0.03ab, A	0.30 ± 0.02ab, A
42	0.29 ± 0.01a, A	0.26 ± 0.01b, A	0.24 ± 0.01bc, A	0.22 ± 0.02bc, A
44	0.28 ± 0.03a, A	0.27 ± 0.03b, A	0.21 ± 0.02c, A	0.20 ± 0.02c, A

Values within the same column followed by different lowercase or uppercase letters within the same row are statistically different (Tukey’s HSD test, P < 0.05).
