Fig. 2

Wing size and adult weight of S. calcitrans is significantly affected by larval density. a Boxplots depicting variation in wing centroid size (i), wing length (ii), wing width (iii), wing area (iv), adult weight (v), and wing loading (vi) across the different larval densities. Boxplot whiskers indicate ± 1.5 interquartile range limits. Boxplots with different letters show significant differences as grouped by ANOVA tests followed by SNK post-hoc tests (P < 0.05, n = 30). b Principal components biplot showing the similarities (or dissimilarities) existing among flies reared at different densities (5, 15 and 25)
