3a: Summary graphs showing the main effects of i) Offspring food and ii) Parental food, as well as iii) the interaction between parent and offspring and iv) the interaction between parent and offspring on blood meal size, controlling for adult size. Haematin concentration was used as an indicator or blood meal size. For each treatment 10–15 female mosquitoes fed on 4 replicate mice. The plotted points are therefore the average blood meal size of each mosquito per mouse (n = 16) and the associated standard error. 3b: Summary graphs showing the main effects of i) Offspring food and ii) Parental food, as well as iii) the interaction between parent and offspring and iv) the interaction between parent and offspring on fecundity, controlling for blood meal size. Fecundity was determined by counting the number of eggs laid over the 3 days following a blood meal. For each treatment 10–15 female mosquitoes fed on 4 replicate mice. The plotted points are therefore the average total number of eggs laid per mosquito per mouse (n = 16) and the associated standard error.
