  1. Effects of phenotypic quality (good and poor) and water availability (24 h access and access limited to 16 h) on physiological and metabolite parameters corrected for body size (μg/mm3 (CI)) in adult An. gambiae females at the end of the 7 d hydric stress experiment, and of the 7 d hydric stress followed by desiccation challenge experiment.
