Figure 3. Boxplot of DEHT (blue) and DINP (red) in all BSF larvae (ng/g wet weight) during the rearing experiments of 10 days. The data are based on all larval samples generated (n = 30 per treatment). The control BSF larvae were not exposed to plastics, while the other BSF larvae were exposed to macroplastics (w = 5%), or meso- or microplastics (w = 1%). The horizontal white lines represent the median concentration, while statistical differences (P < 0.05) are depicted with an asterisk (*) for DINP and two asterisks (**) for DEHT. The boxes represent the lower and upper quartiles. The whiskers represent the maximum values, while the dots depict the outliers of the dataset.
