Effects of developmental diet on the amount of body fat in newly emerged and 10-day old individuals. Note that the flies that developed on the low-yeast diet have a significantly higher amount of fat stores irrespective of the adult diet; the sugar content in the developmental diet has only a small or no effect on the amount of body fat in 10-day old individuals. Data for each population and adult diet were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test (α = 0.05). Plots marked with different letters are significantly different from each other. Box plots depict minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum value. For a detailed statistical analysis, see Additional file 1: Tables S10-S12
