Summary statistics of Anopheles gambiae survival under experimental dehydration stress.

Median survival times and their 95% confidence limits were estimated for several stratifying variables. Sample size is the number of tested mosquitoes falling under each category. Censored observations represent the number of individuals that were still alive at the end of the experimental period. Wing length was subdivided in four classes corresponding to intervals of length defined by quartiles: Very Small [0%, 25%], Small [25%, 50%], Large [50%, 75%], and Very Large [75%, 100%].
