Table 1. Mating frequency by SGH status in field cage mating experiments.

SGH+ Prevalence	Reps	No of flies			Mating frequency
		Females	Males	SGH+ ♂	No of pairs	SGH+ ♂	SGH− ♂
First mating
Low	20	35.0±5.16	34.0±5.0	3.05±2.31	12.50±5.63	0.45±0.83	12.05±5.46**
High	18	34.44±5.11	34.11±5.00	29.44±4.40	7.39±3.52	5.67±2.57	1.72±2.14**
Second mating (after 48 hrs)
A	10	9.10±3.73	17.00±9.29	2.00±2.45	0.10±0.32	0.00	0.10±0.32
B	18	5.44±2.53	11.67±5.31	1.11±1.32	0.50±1.47	0.00	0.50±1.47
C	10	14.40±5.08	29.50±9.30	20.60±10.20	0.80±1.32	0.10±0.32	0.70±1.06

A: Females mated with SGH− males and remated with low SGH prevelance group, B: Females mated with SGH+ males and remated with low SGH prevelance group, and C: Females mated with SGH-males and remated with high SGH prevelance group. Data are presented as mean values ± standard deviation.

^**mating frequency differs between SGH+ and SGH− males in the same row at the 1% level. See Results section for full statistical analysis.
