Generalized linear mixed-effect model analyses were performed to test the null hypothesis that 25% of the progeny will be transgenic under the assumption of equal reproductive fitness between the hemizygous transgenic and nontransgenic males. No statistically significant departure from the 25% expectation was detected for either N1 or N2 (P > 0.05). Power analysis by 1,000 simulations show that the probability to correctly reject the null hypothesis (at α = 0.05) is 98.50% (95% confidence interval: 97.54 to 99.16%) and 99.10% (95% confidence interval: 98.30 to 99.59%) for N1 and N2, respectively. Data for each individual brood are provided in SI Appendix, Table S9. +, Number of transgenic (positive) progeny; −, number of nontransgenic (negative) progeny.
