The six male traits are mean time to emerge (emerge), mean wing length (wing), the proportions of inseminated (p.insem), motile sperm bearing (p.motile), and ovipositing females (p.ovip), and the mean number of eggs per batch (eggs/batch). Shown are the means, standard errors (s.e.), and the numbers of male cages (n). For each male cage, emerge is based on ~33 males (range = 24 to 43), wing is based on ~10 males, the proportions (p.insem, p.motile, p.ovip) are based on ~10 females, and eggs/batch is based on ~22 batches (range = 9 to 35).
