Figure 2.
Offspring production by control GA1 females mated to either inbred (closed squares and solid lines) or control non-inbred (open squares and dashed lines) males shows no difference over 140 days of oviposition (in 10-day blocks). The initial numbers of females mated with inbred and control males were 30 and 11, respectively. Re-mating females after inbred or non-inbred male treatments restores female fertility (means at block 15), thus proving that the offspring production decline is due to male or sperm effects, not female senescence.
