Table 3 Key statistics extracted from the life tables for the different salinity conditions, including the life expectancy (in days) both at age 0 for the complete life course of individuals and for the adult period, segregated by sex
From: Effect of water salinity on immature performance and lifespan of adult Asian tiger mosquito
Salinity condition | Number of mosquitoes in each condition | Number of mosquitoes reaching adult stage | E\(_x\) at age 0 (L\(_1\) to adult death) | Maximum age (in days) reached (L\(_1\) to adult) | E\(_x\) at age 0 in females (adult lifespan) | E\(_x\) at age 0 in males (adult lifespan) |
