A. Digestion of control and challenged silenced and non-silenced females. B. Survival rates of control and challenged silenced and non-silenced females. For digestion and survival 3 experiments were performed. For each experiment, 8 insects per treatment were tested (n = 24). C. Free amino acid levels in the haemolymph (n = 10). D. TAG levels in the fat body (n = 4). E. Daily activity profile of control and challenged silenced and non-silenced females under 12:12 LD depicted by average values of eight days of recording. The gray background indicates the dark phase. Control (n = 27), Zym dsMal (n = 21), Zym dsATG8 (n = 25). **p<0.01, Two Way ANOVA. F. Oviposition, and G. Hatching rates of control and challenged silenced and non-silenced females. For oviposition and hatching, 3 experiments were performed. For each experiment, 8 insects per treatment were tested (n = 24). **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, One Way ANOVA. All measurements were performed 7 days after the blood meal. All graphs show mean ± SEM.
