Table 2. Mean offspring production by non-exposed and exposed mated females starved for seven days prior fumigation.
Week | Starved/non-exposed♀♀ | Starved/exposed♀♀ |
Pre starvation/exposure | 90.15a,b | 78.04c,d |
Post exposure Wk 1 | 65.44e,f | 8.17g |
Post exposure Wk 2 | 96.74a | 59.96f |
Post exposure Wk 3 | 86.46b,c | 70.13d,e |
Post exposure Wk 4 | 76.95d | 58.91f |
Standard errors | 3.67 | 4.78 |
Females that did not reproduce following exposure to phosphine were excluded from the analysis (see methods). Standard errors are calculated based on the pooled variance for each column.
Rows and columns with the same superscript are not significantly different (P>0.05).
