Aging-dependent physiological phenotypes in adult male locusts. a Survival curve of adult male locusts. The blue dashed lines divide the study period at a 7-day interval. n = 67. b Loess curve fitting of the mortality curve of adult males. c, d Flight performance of adult males at different ages. Flight distance (c) and average flight velocity (d) of adult males at 7, 14, 21, and 28 D. Significant differences are denoted by letters (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05). The center line of the boxplots represents the median value, and the bounds of the box represent the 75th and the 25th percentiles. Blue lines represent the loess curve fitting of flight performance with age. e, f Sperm state of adult males at different ages. Stored sperm number (e) and sperm viability (f) of adult males at 7, 14, 21, and 28 D. Significant differences are denoted by letters (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05)
