P1 and P2 are proportions of progeny sired by tested males when they are first or second to mate in a design where they are competed against cn bw males. Fecundity-1 is the fecundity of doubly mated females when the tested male is first to mate. Fecundity-2 is the fecundity of doubly mated females when the tested male is second to mate. Remating ability is the fraction of males that successfully mated with females previously mated to cn bw males. Refractoriness is the fraction of females mated to tester males that did not remate with cn bw males. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. Sequential Bonferroni-adjusted probabilities are given in parentheses.
