Figure 4.

Number of eggs laid per 48 hr plus the fitted smoothers from the GAMM for each temperature. At 20°, the moths live for a long time and produce a few eggs every day. The moths at 22° have a similarly low oviposition rate but toward the end of their lives some of them increase the number of eggs laid (NB some of the 20° moths did this as well but some did not). Once the temperature reaches 24° and up oviposition is mostly early on in the animals’ lives, with large numbers of eggs laid in the first few days
