Note:

Consistent with the main results is that: (1) the longer trait length for isolated versus continuous populations in the wild is maintained when the insects are raised under controlled conditions, and (2) these results are consistent and show a high degree of certainty for the femur, pronotum and genital appendage (ovipositor/cerci) traits, and less consistent with a higher degree of uncertainty for the wing trait.
