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 detransformed mean values (in bold) and 95% confidence interval.
Mean values in the same column followed by the same letter do not differ at the 5% level. See Results section for full statistical analysis.
