Figure 2.

Scatter plots of male fitness traits 1, 2 and 3. Scatter plots of 27 sire families in blocks A and B for (a) the proportion of ovipositing dams (r = 0.32, df = 25, p = 0.102), (b) proportion of ovipositing dams that produced larvae (r = 0.42, df = 22, p = 0.040) and (c) proportion of dams that produced larvae (r = 0.17, df = 25, p = 0.383). The sizes of the data points are proportional to the geometric mean of the number of dams in the denominator of the trait of interest in blocks A and B. Shown are the lines of best fit.
