  1. N: number of emerged females or males. Development times of females and males for the habitat water without added food treatment were not compared due to the small number of individuals
  2. †Tukey HSD comparison of development time among the three settings for the same treatment. Numbers connected with different (same) letters indicate significant (non-significant) differences among the three settings. Comparison was not done for male development time for habitat water experiments because only one male emerged in indoor experiments
