Table 5.
Mean values of percentage of mating, latency, and mating duration time of each type of cross, and female proportion obtained in the offspring (F1 and F2)
| Mating combination (female x male) |
% Mating success (# rep.) |
Latency (min) (SE) | Mating duration time (min) (SE) | Offspring female ratio (N) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Af-Cast-1 x Af-Cast-2 | 80 (60) | 19.23 (2.51)a | 73.60 (3.90)a | 0.62b* (535) | 0.61b* (326) |

# rep: number of replicates; min: minutes; SE: standard error; N: the number of individuals. Values followed by the same letter did not present any statistically significant differences. Statistical significance in the case of female ratio: * P < 0.05 (corrected critical value after Bonferroni correction = 0.00625)
