a Composition of diets used in this study. Corn, cornflour; Glc, glucose. b The survival rates of Tps1MIC mutants for each dietary condition. The percentage of adult flies was determined by the ratio of mutant flies to flies with a balancer chromosome in each vial. c Wing sizes for each dietary condition. The percentage differences for the average wing sizes relative to flies grown on a ND are shown above. d, e Inter-individual variation (IIV) (d) and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) (e) of wing sizes for each dietary condition. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test (b), F-test with Bonferroni correction (d, e). The numbers of vials (b) or flies (c–e) analyzed are indicated.
