Table 2.
Results and statistical analysis of comparing mate-searching behaviour between males produced by unmated females (UM♂) and males produced by mated females (M♂) that developed individually
| ♂ that first found ♀ | Individual G test | Replicated G test | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UM♂ | M♂ | Neither | G | df | P | G | df | P | |
| 21 | 25 | 5 | 0.348 | 1 | 0.56 | Heterogeneitya | 0.556 | 1 | 0.46 |
| 22 | 19 | 4 | 0.22 | 1 | 0.64 | Pooledb | 0.011 | 1 | 0.92 |
Neither means that any males did not approach females within the observation time of 30 min. Because males that had developed to the quiescent stage at the 8th and 9th days were tested separately, there are two rows
a P > 0.05 indicates that the frequency distributions of the replicates are not significantly different from each other
b P > 0.05 indicates that the mate-searching behaviour does not differ between UM♂ and M♂
