Table 1.

Number eggs, larvae, and pupae per female after 60 days and proportion female for dams reared on good or poor quality medium

	Good-quality medium	Poor-quality medium
	Mean (SE)	Mean (SE)
60 day counts
Number of eggs laid per female, 60 days	29.1 (3.8)	48.0 (5.3)
Number of larvae (eggs hatched)	20.3 (3.0)	35.6 (4.3)
Number of pupae	12.0 (1.8)	25.0 (2.7)
Proportion female
Eggs separated, reared individually	0.47	0.6
Broods reared to adulthood as a group	0.49	0.64

All comparisons are significantly different (P < 0.01) using two-sample t-tests.
