The combined effect of temperature and resource supply level on Ae. aegypti life-history traits. (a–c) Resource supply significantly modulated the effect of temperature on all directly measured traits, except adult lifespan at 26°C (b). The resulting ANOVAs of the GLMs for each trait are presented in the electronic supplementary material, table S1. The GLM-estimated trait means with 95% CIs calculated from the standard errors are shown in the electronic supplementary material, table S2. (d) Predicted fecundity increased significantly with the temperature at both resource levels (non-overlapping 95% CIs). The extent to which fecundity increased with temperature and resource level was only significant at 26°C. The numbers of females that survived to adulthood (n) in each treatment were 22°C at low-resource supply n = 23, at high-resource supply n = 37; 26°C at low-resource supply n = 29, at high-resource supply n = 30; 32°C at low-resource supply n = 10, at high-resource supply n = 27. Boxplot horizontal lines represent medians. Lower and upper hinges are the 25th and 75th percentiles. Upper whiskers extend from the hinge to the largest value no further than 1.5 × inter-quartile range (IQR) from the hinge. The lower whisker extends from the hinge to the smallest value at most 1.5 × IQR of the hinge.
