Initial male investment in mating plug and sperm in experimental laboratory swarms. The size of the mating plug (white bars) and the number of sperm (gray bars) recovered in females from couples caught in copula was compared in KIL and Mopti females inseminated by KIL and Mopti males or hybrid males. The size of mating plugs in field-caught couples is also shown for comparisons. Barplots show the group means (±95% CI). Bars sharing a letter are nonsignificantly different, those with different letters significantly different.
