Life history parameters of S. calcitrans that were immersed (or unimmersed as a control) as first instar larvae. a Bar chart depicting the mean developmental time of immersed and unimmersed S. calcitrans (Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney tests, P < 0.05, n = 50). b Violin plots showing the weight of immersed and unimmersed S. calcitrans larvae at 4 and 10 days after water immersion (Unpaired t-test, P < 0.05, n = 50). c Bar chart illustrating the mean percentage of immersed and unimmersed S. calcitrans that pupated (GLM with binomial distribution followed by the analysis of deviance test, P < 0.05, n = 10). d Boxplot showing the difference in pupal weight between individuals that were immersed or unimmersed (Unpaired t-test, P < 0.05, n = 50). e Bar chart depicting the mean percentage of immersed and unimmersed S. calcitrans that reached the adult stage (GLM with binomial distribution followed by the analysis of deviance test, P < 0.05, n = 10). f Bar chart illustrating the mean emergence time in S. calcitrans individuals that were immersed and unimmersed (Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney tests, P < 0.05, n = 50). g Boxplot showing the variation of S. calcitrans adult weight from immersed and unimmersed individuals (Unpaired t-test, P < 0.05, n = 50). On each bar chart, error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. Bar into each box shows the median and those at the extreme of the box shows the 25th–75th percentiles, which are extended by whiskers indicating 1.5 × the interquartile range from the 25th–75th percentiles. Coloured dots on each graph show data points from each replicate
