Experiment 2.

<p>Graphic showing the occurrence of <i>de-novo</i> synthesis or direct uptake as a percentage of the total population analysed. NB. Any number under 100% indicates the fatty acid was not present in all the <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i> mosquitoes analysed.</p

Experiment 2.

<p>Average relative fatty acid composition of diets and <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i> mosquitoes reared on the different diets (typically n = 3).</p

Experiment 2.

<p>Cluster analysis of fatty acid profiles of <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i> mosquitoes fed specific diets, based on Euclidean distance (insert based on Bray Curtis similarity).</p

Beta values of multivariate analysis of mosquitoes against diet Experiment 2.

Regression analysis of average (n = 3) TBN against TBC, where bubble size represents TBP, Experiment 2.

<p>Regression analysis of average (n = 3) TBN against TBC, where bubble size represents TBP, Experiment 2.</p

Experiment 1.

<p>Total body nitrogen (TBN) versus total body carbon (TBC) of individual <i>Anopheles arabiensis</i> mosquitoes, where bubble size represents the square of the deviation from average wing length.</p

Regression analysis of Experiment 1 data, (linear unless otherwise indicated).

<p>NS denotes not significant at p>0.05 level.</p

Average relative fatty acid composition of diets and mosquitoes (no of replicates given as n in parenthesis).

<p>SLP and BLP stands for Squid and Bovine liver powder respectively.</p
