Fig. 8.
Relationship between the number of eggs laid by Mexican fruit fly females from eclosion (age 0) through 30 days and (a) eggs laid in the interval 31–60 days (r-value=0.498); and (b) remaining life span (r-value=0.083). The wide scatter in both plots reveals low of predictive power of knowledge of early egg laying for number of eggs laid in the next one-month interval (a) or remaining life span (b).
