Table 1 Comparison of sex ratios (as % males) in broods of unconstrained mated females (with F broods) and constrained mated females (M broods) of pairs with different endosymbiont infections (ICW × ICW; U × U) at 20 and 25 °C (data of all three crossing experiments are pooled).

From: Endosymbionts moderate constrained sex allocation in a haplodiploid thrips species in a temperature-sensitive way
