Table 3. The sex ratio of mixed broods in C. floridanum collected in the field in Japan.
Year | No. Broods | Average male ratio | Ranges of male ratio (max-min) |
---|---|---|---|
2003 | 20 | 0.031 | 0.049−0.008 |
2004 | 21 | 0.027 | 0.056−0.007 |
2005 | 26 | 0.057 | 0.132−0.002 |
2007 | 25 | 0.036 | 0.076−0.005 |
In each brood, 1000 adults are sexed. One-tailed binomial tests indicate that male ratios are significantly lower in each year at p = 0.00000.
