Table 1. Sperm and egg length in relation to long-term selection and short-term exposure.
| Line | Temperature | Sperm length | N | Egg length | N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30°C TSL | 30°C | 88.4 ± 5.2 | 40 | 615.4 ± 51.5 | 240 |
| 30°C TSL | 38°C | 81.9 ± 7.9 | 40 | 685.5 ± 42.2 | 240 |
| 38°C TSL | 30°C | 91.5 ± 4.9 | 40 | 638.4 ± 48.3 | 240 |
| 38°C TSL | 38°C | 85.5 ± 4.3 | 40 | 682.7 ± 42.7 | 240 |
| KSS | 30°C | 89.3 ± 4.1 | 26 | 662.6 ± 39.4 | 180 |
| KSS | 38°C | 84.3 ± 4.8 | 26 | 697.9 ± 48.4 | 180 |
Shown are mean, standard deviation and sample size (sperm: number of males; eggs: number of eggs) for sperm length and egg length measured in individuals from temperature selection lines (TSL) and the ancestral population (KSS), exposed to different temperatures from pupation onward (see main text and Figures 1–3).
