Treatment group abbreviations represent treatments for individual samples with the first letter indicating the colony origin of either EMAI-FFPF (E) or HIE (H) from which the pupae were collected, the second letter indicating the larval diets of either carrot (C) or lucerne chaff (L), the third letter identifies the adult diet of either a full adult diet consisting of yeast hydrolysate and sugar (3:1) (Y), sugar only (S) or nil (N) as in the case of tenerals who were not fed, the fourth letter indicates if the pupae were irradiated (I) or unirradiated (U), the fifth letter denotes the sex, either male (M) or female (F). Adult diets were provided in a 1% agar matrix)
