Changes with age in mass-specific values of (A) water loss rate, (B) initial water content, and (C) water content at death by karyotype in female A. gambiae submitted to desiccation stress tests. 2La, closed circles and continuous lines; 2L+^a, open circles and dashed lines. Symbols and error bars represent means ± 95% confidence intervals. Lines depict the fitted generalized linear models. All values on the ordinate are in μg·μg^-1. Water loss rates are expressed in μg·μg^-1·hr^-1.
