Total cells built by M. rotundata females in noncompetitive nesting assays. In both Year 1 and Year 2, three cohorts of 20–25 age-matched females were released into separate field enclosures containing at least two nesting holes for each female. (A) Total cells built by diapausers [D] and nondiapausers [ND] in Year 1 and Year 2. Diapause status had a significant effect on total cells built in Year 1, but not in Year 2 (**: P < 0.001, ns: not significant). (B) The relationship between female adult weight and total cells built by diapausers [D] and nondiapausers [ND] in Year 1. Weight did not significantly affect total cells built (P > 0.05). (C) The relationship between female weight and total cells built by diapausers [D] and nondiapausers [ND] in Year 2. There was a statistically significant effect of weight on total cells built (P < 0.05); however, the pseudo-R2 for the correlation was 0.064, indicating that weight explains very little of the variation in total cells built.
