Body size and immunity in newly emerged females. (A) Body size, measured by intertegular width (mm), of Megachile rotundata females used in the lifespan assay. Diapause females are significantly larger than non-diapause females (***: p < 0.001). (B) Diapause did not significantly influence immune response (measured as grey value in an encapsulation assay) at emergence. n.s. - not significant. Boxes represent the interquartile range (IQR), with the horizontal line indicating the median. Whiskers extend to show the range of most data points, excluding outliers. The minimum/maximum whisker values are calculated as the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) –/+ 1.5 * IQR. Dots represent individual data points.
