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 13).
