- Pairwise statistical comparisons of F0 and F6 females are indicated to the right for both treatments. Fisher’s exact test was used to compare proportion of replete females (row 1) and Student’s t-test used to compare time to oviposit and egg clutch size (rows 2 and 3). ns, not significant; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
