Temp, temperature; SE, standard error; N, number of individuals. Sex ratio deviation from 0.5 within each batch and temperature compared by chi-square test (chi-square value, df, significance). Female vs. male lifespan within each batch and temperature compared by t-test (t value, df, significance after FDR-adjustment).

ns

not significant. Significant tests shown in bold.
