The crossing experiments revealed bimodal sex ratio patterns, with some mated females producing male-biased (M) broods (constrained females) and other mated females producing female-biased (F) broods (unconstrained females). Experiments 1–2 evaluated the percentage of constrained and unconstrained mothers at 20 °C, and experiment 3 at 20 and 25 °C.
