The effect of novel versus adapted diet on development of sexual maturation, mating rate, and egg quality. The effect of pumpkin seed (dark gray bars) or sunflower seed (light gray bars) is compared for mean number of days it took for pairs to become sexually mature (A), mean number of copulations observed over 5 days (B), mean number of days it took females to produce a first clutch of eggs following mating (C), and mean development time of offspring (D).
