BW: body weight; GLY: glycogen; TAG: triacylglycerol; GLYC: glycerol; MR: metabolic rate; FT: competitive fitness; CL: copulation latency; SR: starvation resistance; CC: chill-coma recovery; LS: lifespan. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001; ****P < 0.0001. Values in bold indicate correlations that remain significant after Bonferroni correction based on sequential Bonferroni tests.
