Providing adult BSF with different types of water or no water (starvation) affects oviposition and adult longevity. Temporal course of oviposition based on the absolute number of egg clutches (A) and the relative egg mass (B) collected. (C) Sex-dependent Kaplan–Meier survival functions of 30 pairs per treatment. Survivorship was monitored daily. p-values represent treatments compared pairwise via log-rank test (T = tap water; D = distilled water; 0.5 = 0.5% NaCl solution; S = starvation; f = female; m = male).
