Mating increases the dispersal of flies from water to a greater extent for males relative to females. a, b From model environments containing only water (2 mL 0.5% agar), groups of previously mated (solid) males and females dispersed at a higher rate than virgin (dashed) males and females. c Mated males dispersed from water at a higher rate than mated females (i). c, d Mating increased the dispersal of males (ii) and females (iii) from water. Median hourly rates over 6 h. The top and bottom edges of the boxes represent 75th and 25th percentiles; the whiskers extend to the most extreme point not considered outliers, and outliers are plotted individually (+)
