Yee et al PLoS One 2015 life history data

Contains data on male and female mass and development times for three species of mosquitoes across different detrital environment

Development times (mean ± SE) for male and female (a) <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, (b) <i>Aedes albopictus</i> and (c) <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i>, across detritus ratios (animal:leaf).

<p>Detritus ratios are expressed in units, where one unit = 0.10 g.</p

Results of multiple analysis of variance on nitrogen (mg) and carbon (mg) values in male and female <i>Aedes albopictus</i>, <i>A</i>. <i>aegypti</i>, and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> across different ratios of plant and animal detritus.

<p>Significant effects are presented in bold.</p

Results of multiple analysis of variance on δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C values in male and female <i>Aedes albopictus</i>, <i>A</i>. <i>aegypti</i>, and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> across different ratios of plant and animal detritus.

<p>Significant effects are presented in bold.</p

Survivorship (mean ± SE of percentage surviving) of <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, <i>Aedes albopictus</i> and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> across animal and leaf detritus ratios.

<p>Letters represent Tukey-post Hoc test results. Means sharing same letters are not significantly different. Detritus ratios are expressed in units, where one unit = 0.10 g.</p

Ratio of tissue nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) for adult mosquitoes across different a) species and ratios (animal:plant) and b) species and sex.

<p>Values are means ± SE from three replicates (except AE 1:1 and CX 0:10 which each had only one sample). Detritus ratios are expressed in units, where one unit = 0.10 g.</p

Means (±SE) of percent carbon and nitrogen for male and female <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, <i>A</i>. <i>albopictus</i>, and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> grown under different animal and leaf detritus ratios (1 unit of detritus = 0.05 g).

<p>Pure samples of plant and animal detritus are also included. Only one replicate for female <i>A</i>. <i>aegypti</i> in the 1:1 ratio was useable and only one replicate of <i>C</i>. <i>quinquefasciatus</i> in the 0:10 ratio produced enough adults to analyze. All other combinations are the result of three replicates.</p
