From: Non-quantitative adjustment of offspring sex ratios in pollinating fig wasps
The mean offspring sex ratio (male offspring/total offspring number) of single foundress in five fig wasp species (mean ± SD):
(a) deposition within the first one hour; (b) deposition over their lifespan. The average foundress number per syconium differs greatly among the five species in literatures46,47,48: Ceratosolen gravelyi:1.60 ± 0.10, n = 168; Ceratosolen solmsi: 2.08 ± 1.65, N = 182; Eupristina koningsbergeri: 2.73 ± 1.56, N = 90; C. fusciceps: 4.50 ± 4.16, N = 1590; Ceratosolen emarginatus: 8.62 ± 16.21, N = 55. The sample size N ≥ 20 in each type of the experiments.
