Wing epidermal cell area of one fly, a proxy for cell size, in µm²: area of a ~7850 µm² (100 µm diameter) circle placed in proportion to wing size on a 40x image, divided by the number of trichomes counted in it (one trichome per cell). Computed from the authors' counting area and trichome number, as in their script. Flies reared from egg to adult at 25 °C under normoxia (21 kPa O2, control condition) and kept 5-8 days as virgin adults in the same condition; one value per fly. No DGRP_843 females measured. [µm²]
