Difference scores (P_MC − M_MC females) for number of eggs laid (A), number of offspring eclosed as adults (B), and egg-to-adult survival percentage (C). The difference scores over days of female life were independent and paired comparisons testing for deviations from zero showed that number of eggs laid (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, −745.5; P > |t| < 0.001), number of offspring eclosed as adults (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, 247; P > |t| < 0.001), and egg-to-adult survival (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, 654; P > |t| < 0.001) were significantly different between M_MC and P_MC females.
